I wish wordpress did fewer things but did them better. There should be something that is a notch better Jekyll but doesn't get gross when you install a dozen plug-ins. Out of the box wordpress produces a very slow and bandwidth heavy site.
- throw5345346 2y agoIf you need a simple site now you barely need any plugins at all. Something for a contact form, maybe. You do have to lean in slightly to how Gutenberg and Full Site Editing works -- I recommend this amazing documentation site: https://fullsiteediting.com https://fullsiteediting.com
- p4bl0 2y agoHave you given Dotclear a try?
- joshstrange 2y ago* Google for “Dotclear”, get the first result with no description (“No information is available for this page. Learn why”) - not a good first impression * Dotclear website’s theme is ugly verging on purposefully ugly. At least WP default themes look decent * Click on “About” to see what this runs on (homepage doesn’t tell me), nothing loads. Oh! I have to click one of these header tabs/links, odd… “About” -> “Overview” still doesn’t tell me what language this is written in. Click “Pre-requisite” finally see it’s PHP+(MySQL/Postgres/SQLite) For software that’s been around since 2003 I kind of expect better and I expect have heard of it since back in 2009-2011-ish I was doing a fair bit of WP development.
