Launched my new personal website:
#Thankyou to over 30 people who suggested their experiences with great static website generators.
I went with Hugo at https://gohugo.io/ for the *incredible* writing/creating experience. Instant changes and no-setup live reloading. Plus great themes.
Other notables included: Pelican (#python), Jeykell, Grow, Wagtail, FrozenFlask.
@mkennedy Which theme is this?
@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 looking great!
Hugo rocks for more taxonomically involved sites too - https://pypyr.io tech docs website is all Hugo w a custom theme, hosted on GitHub pages.
@mkennedy shocking to read about the whole Python source code leaking!
