I kind of cheated at making a 'static site' though as I'm using PHP for some dynamic stuff like my contact form and latest Instagram posts (but that's via AJAX)
- AndyMcConachie 8y agoI used Jekyll until the combination of various Ruby versions, FreeBSD pkg, gems, and unaccountable bloat drove me mad with rage. Have you ever looked at the dependencies for Jekyll? Why does it need a JS compiler? I mean, how many lines of code and how many Ruby packages with very specific version numbers does it take to convert markdown to html? I'm now using Pelican and it hasn't driven me into a rage yet. Happy that development on it is slower and seemingly more deliberate. Then again I haven't had to upgrade it yet.

- benbristow 8y agoI can host my own website on my own server. Why would I want to restrict myself to a third party's servers?
