nice site, it's clean

• benatkin 6y ago
  It's nice but it could be cleaner, by dropping the sidebar, and constraining the width of prose. See "Why is the text on your site so narrow? It wastes screen space." here: http://www.paulgraham.com/gfaq.html http://www.paulgraham.com/gfaq.html

    Is it any better to use images for styling buttons instead of CSS?

  Thanks! Most of the credit goes to Alex Shpak (https://github.com/alex-shpak/ https://github.com/alex-shpak/) who created the "Book" theme for hugo (https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-book/ https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-book/).

  Also loaded very quickly for me. Static sites FTW!

    ...and its hosted on an f1-micro instance! (https://devopsdirective.com/posts/2020/03/load-testing-f1-micro/ https://devopsdirective.com/posts/2020/03/load-testing-f1-mi...) Almost all of the load is handled by CloudFlare though.

      Just curious - why didn't you decide to serve the site from object storage?
      • spalas 6y ago
        Mostly because I knew I wanted to play around with trying out different configurations, testing performance, etc... If I didn't have those secondary goals, I would have either: 1) Hosted on Netlify OR 2) Hosted in an S3 / GCS bucket

          cool - and the micro instance is free anyway
