- TrueSlacker0 4y agoComplexity? MySQL 1 click installs on damn near every WordPress install. I fail to see how it is complex.
- dharmab 4y agoKeeping it updated and backed up is complex. Sqlite can be embedded inside an application (easy updates) and the database backup is a single file.
- LVB 4y agoZero clicks is better. And less resource usage, which can help on really small instances with multiple applications.
- rchaud 4y agoSomeone's never seen a WP white screen of death because of some esoteric MySQL error the average person will have no idea how to debug.
- pstuart 4y agoI'm curious as to how much of your site depends on WordPress, vs. just using a static site generator.
- kstrauser 4y agoI use Hugo, and I have a relatively ergonomic workflow set up where I use iA Writer to write posts on my iPad, then Working Copy to push them to a git repo. Then my server pulls that repo on a cron job, and builds and deploys it. It’s fine. It gets the job done. But I confess that being able to post a new entry to an API and have it published instantly sure is attractive. If WordPress had a better security track record, I’d be tempted to switch to it. You don’t get much more secure than a bunch of static files served straight from disk, though.
- upon_drumhead 4y agoMy mother in law is the one writing content for it. She knows Wordpress from working for other companies. In theory I could teach her something new, but why bother? She enjoys what she’s doing now. I don’t want to take away from that.
- pstuart 4y agoThat's understandable. My question wasn't meant as a challenge--I'm assuming that most sites could transition to a static site with judicious JS to lively up things.
- Dunedan 4y agoOne killer feature for me aside from usability for less-technical people are comments. While comments are not be necessary for certain types of websites, I consider them essential for anything you might call a blog.
