Hahaha. Co-creator here. I know, it's silly. Here's how we came up with it: My partner and I used to drive 2 hours to meet our team every Monday at our old startup. We conceived of the idea on one of these drives and the conversa

Co-creator here. I was building a website for someone last summer and I REALLY didn't want to use WordPress, so my friend and I built forestry.io. Some highlights: • Supports all Jekyll plugins • Integrates with GitHub & Bitbucket

Sad you're not using Hugo to power the engine room blog :(

I love the minimalism. Jekyll?

Great theme! Are there any disadvantages to using Disqus as a commenting system?

I just set up a Jekyll site on S3 and used formkeep.com for form endpoints. Worked great (but costs $7/month).

I've used skeleton A LOT for a quick and dirty responsive css framework. But unfortunately, the latest version doesn't support nested columns. A big disadvantage, IMO.

Co-creator here. I'd love to get some feedback on this. Do you use a static site generator? If so, what's your favorite? Would you be interested in purchasing premium themes?

That's a good point. It's really going to be a game of averages. Most small websites that I build (for restaurants, bands, conversion pages, etc) get a negligible amount of traffic. But every now and then there will be a site t

Yeah, I love heroku toolbelt too. A command line tool makes a lot of sense. Blogging will be difficult, right now we're just starting with editing existing content and we'll expand from there.

Our math tells us that $1/month will result in surprisingly high margins, however, we're hoping to sell services around the hosting of static sites. Need an e-commerce back-end? Premium templates? etc. Did you try the demo? Woul

Cool. Building a UI for Jekyll is exactly what we're setting out to do. Great idea about the click-to-specify what's dynamic! Agreed that focusing on technical people is a smaller market; that's just phase 1 for us. Thanks a

In my experience, people get a web dev to crank out a simple website powered by WP and they only ever really make slight content changes - add a project to their portfolio, or edit their bio. Rarely to people actually make use of widgets,

Agreed. cPanel hosting services make me want to vomit (bluehost/hostgator/etc). The thing that bothers me the most, is we often set up WordPress so someone can edit a few lines of text ever few months. Total overkill IMO.

Yeah, good question. S3 is a hassle for some people (designer-types) and we're building additional services around the hosting part (form submissions, a simple CMS, etc). If you get a chance, try out the demo and let me know what you

Co-creator here. We built forestry.io because we hate dealing with shitty cPanel-type hosting providers and we think WordPress is often overkill for simple sites. We all build simple sites every now and then. You know...your bother's

IMO, a better question would be "How do set myself up for my ideal working situation in 5 - 10 years". I agree with a lot of things said in this thread, but my suggestion would be to focus on building relationships and seek out gr
