Nice work and great write up! I’m a huge fan of treating one’s blog as a “homelab” for exploring new (or old) software stacks for the web, so this idea resonates a lot. One thing I’d like to try (has anyone tried this?): eschew the idea of a static site generator and go the “old school” route of dynamically generating each page on the fly, but take advantage of the modern CDN layer of the web (CloudFlare, etc.) to effectively cache and give you the speed equivalent of a static site. Yes this approach has more dependencies but I think simplifies the work done on the blog side since you can build it using whichever simple web framework appeals to you most (or none at all…this is a homelab after all). My plan (don’t we all have this plan) is to try this out in Crystal when time allows…
