> I tried SSGs and my goodness do I dislike the experience of maintaining a website with them. I dislike the SSG experience so much that before convincing the team to build Pika with me, I was actually blogging by writing straight HTML!
- tamimio 3y agoI agree, and that’s why I use Zola, no JavaScript, and no dependencies like gatsby, and isn’t overly complicated like hugo or similar, it is in fact one binary! Set it up locally or directly on the cloud, choose a theme by placing it in a folder, and all your blog posts will be in one folder, to create a post, you just create a folder/file that is mark down, fully featured with vids and what not if you needed it. Everything is independent, you are not relying on a vendor, not a cloud provider, use whatever text editor you want, and it will build the whole website in milliseconds.
