Launched my new personal website:

mkennedy.codes

to over 30 people who suggested their experiences with great static website generators.

I went with Hugo at gohugo.io/ for the *incredible* writing/creating experience. Instant changes and no-setup live reloading. Plus great themes.

Other notables included: Pelican (), Jeykell, Grow, Wagtail, FrozenFlask.

@mkennedy yeah Hugo is awesome, it’s just so fast! I switched a few years ago and have never regretted it.

@mkennedy I've been meaning to moveupdate my blog. Been using the Ghost blogging engine on their hosted plan.

Maybe I should just host it myself a cloud server

@cecilphillip Nice. I'm using netlify and it's 100% free, CDN backed, and SO good. Just linked it to my prod branch for the static site and pushed => CI/CD within a few seconds. No servers or any other self hosting troubles.

I do have 8 servers, but decided to not add more config to them.

@mkennedy it's free even with a custom domain? That's cool

@cecilphillip Yes! Free SSL, free custom domain, free CDN, free CI/CD. It's over the top.

@mkennedy shocking to read about the whole Python source code leaking! 🤯😂
