Yeah kinda, except that most people making static sites aren't the people who know Make.
- jetrink 3y agoI regularly see people on HN who have a static site for their personal site or blog. There's a niche for this kind of thing.
- rcarmo 3y agoUp until a certain point, yes. Then you start wanting back links, navigation, etc., and doing that with make alone doesn’t quite work, especially if you have a deep tree of files - single folder sites don’t typically have a lot of content in them. (My site is generated by a Python commit webhook that indexes new files, diffs an Azure storage container and uploads updated files only).
