Re:Why You Should Write Your Own Static Site Generator by jonfk on Friday November 03, 2023 @11:50AM (#38130579)
I prefer using markdown files in a repo and generating my website using a SSG, because I find managing plain text files and a simple CI/CD pipeline to deploy easier to manage. The tooling for writing is my editor of choice, deploy is a git push and I don’t have to run a server or long running process. I can also easily migrate to any type of hosting more easily. I can see someone who is more used to Wordpress for example finding your workflow easier. It really mostly comes down to personal preference and what tools you are used to.

How do you feel about this attempt at creating a better WordPress that we have been working on?

It uses Git and Markdown for easy deployments to your serverless CI/CD pipeline just as you described.

I'd love your feedback :)
