- kapilkale 14y agoGood point. I hadn't seen / used github pages before, and it looks like they let you set up a custom domain so might be a comparable solution.
- nickknw 14y agoI use github pages with jekyll and I'm pretty satisfied with it. I have an additional wrinkle - I have a jekyll plugin I wrote that I want to use, so I have to run jekyll on my own machine and then commit the plain html output to a separate repository. Once it was set up though it doesn't look much different though, just one extra step (running ./push_site_live.sh) after I'm done.
- lachyg 14y agoBecause you can't use plugins (RSS, Read More, etc)
- ryanlchan 14y agoAnother alternative is also just hosting directly off S3, which, combined with cloudfront, should eliminate any possibility of folding.
