Publishing with a SSG is so complex (and for many good reasons, as other comments mention). When anything gets this this complex, I pine for an end to end optimization targeting simplicity.
And I don't think the static site generator is the driving force for complexity here. The web ecosystem really seems nuts when you step back. When it comes to publishing on the web, I would really like to see something simpler gain traction.
Browsers are both amazing and amazingly complicated. I would like to see the 80/20 rule applied to see what comes after HTML -- maybe a reboot for 2023?
Surely I'm missing something that already exists?
- mateomorris 4y agoThat same thinking is what led me to build [Primo](https://github.com/primodotso/primo https://github.com/primodotso/primo) - a SSG in a desktop/server CMS. It’s the only thing me or anyone I know who’s uses it uses to build normal websites anymore bc it’s so much faster to get a site up and easier to write code/content.
- bdlowery 4y agoLooks cool, but I think you missed a big opportunity to charge money for this.
- mateomorris 4y agothanks :D
