- gtCameron 11y agoYou don't have to use Amazon, you can use one of the other 800 non-amazon specific static site generators that exist instead of this one. The fact that a tool doesn't accomplish the particular workflow that you would like doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
- w-ll 11y agoI dont think meesterdude was implying DodgerCMS shouldn't exist. And I think the question of if it could support GH Pages is not a bad one, in fact I would rather host for free on GH than Amazon as well.
- maineldc 11y agoBut the whole point is that by reducing the number of choices, that it becomes simpler to start. It's even in the docs: Q: Why did you make this? A: I wanted to see if it was feasible to use S3 as a CMS, and I like working on projects like this for fun. So the author wasn't trying to create a static site CMS (there are LOTS of those already), but something different and maybe simpler.
