Oof. Not usually one to comment on technical issues, but that's a rough one to get for a (presumably) completely-static site! Dr. Sheaf, please consider servin

  He probably doesn’t know how. This message is em from Wordpress. There are many WP providers where you just signup and start writing. They don’t tell you that if you get to HN front page, your db will die. I don’t know any static blog providers. He’d have to roll out his own or use Medium/Substack.

      That doesn't look static, it's a Django app, no?

        Ah yeah, I guess I just assumed it was static because every time I've been to a Bear blog it has been so light and snappy. Just did a little looking. Micro.blog [0] is a true hosted static site offering; just hosted Hugo. There's also Publii [1], an open source cross-platform desktop static CMS that has one-click push to a variety of cloud CDNs (e.g. Netlify or Github Pages) [0] https://micro.blog https://micro.blog [1] https://getpublii.com https://getpublii.com

    Fascinating, thanks for sharing your expertise. I've never published a blog, obviously. This just seems like such an absurdly simple use case... If blogs aren't static, what is???
