GitHub pages existed before 2017. Like, almost a decade before.
- goykasi 2y agoI thought the same. He also mentioned hosting on DO and droplets not existing. Im 99.9% sure they existed too. Droplets were literally what they were selling if Im not mistaken. gmail has always been free too (from his archive.org link). So much of this post feels like alternate history and gloating. Its cool that he wrote a wrapper around an existing library, but his main argument is that C will still be around in "the upcoming decades." Im willing to bet money on Hugo/go existing and still working too -- or any number of other static-site generators. edit: This can all be done with just pushing markdown files to github anyway. Github will automatically generate the html if you do some basic configuration in your repo.
