- brabel 3y agoThis is the right way to go for simple websites, and I do that, but why would I pay for something to do it for me when it's so extremely simple to use one of 100s[1] of open-source static site generators and host them on GitHub Pages, Netlify and many others completely free? Makes sense that this was a hard sell. [1] https://jamstack.org/generators/ https://jamstack.org/generators/
- rakoo 3y ago"Github pages, Netlify and many others completely free" still require you to create yet another account. Always a pain when all you want is get a few words out. There might have been a useful goal in that it prevented spam, but today it's not even preventing that anymore.
- cxr 3y agotxti.es was free, and there's nothing in these comments, or the shutdown message, or the page from the Wayback Machine that mentions pricing. Why did you bring up paying for "something to do it for me" and hard sells?
- xigoi 3y agotxti.es was much easier to use for non-technical people. (And who said anything about paying?)
