My definition of minimalistic is a SSG where you use Github's WYSIWYG editor and push changes to trigger a pipeline that rebuilds the page and uploads it to a cloud service with S3 support.
- nine_k 2y agoInvolving GitHub and setting up its actions is only minimalist from a very particular point of view.
- INTPenis 2y agoWell, in real life this setup uses Gitlab but I referenced Github because I assumed they have better WYSIWYG options than Gitlab. And why that matters is because I can run the pipeline from my own laptop with gitlab-runner. But we all have our own view of minimalistic and mine is "the less code is running, the more minimalistic it is". To be abundantly clear, the less code is running that I have to operate or maintain. Obviously Github, S3 and a SSG generator is a lot of code.
- ElectricalUnion 2y agoIf you're really going for "minimalistic", why not ignore the whole build/SSG and just directly link to a markdown file inside a github repository?
