I am working on creating a fully static site Stackoverflow clone. My UI & UX Skills are terrible. I would appreciate any help.

I have hosted it using an s3 compatible object store for now. But the experience was really terrible compared to Gitlab Pages / Netlify (Just push it to a repo and you are done!).

One example I can give you is the the Gitlab pages artifact size limit (1 GB). Most providers also have a "max build time" that is too low for projects of this size.

Ask HN: What are the largest static sites you know of?

Largest in terms of number of pages. The only result in google search seems to be of a now defunct website. Also interested in knowing about the challenges faced in hosting the same. Recently tried hosting a ~ 25 million page site. Broke all the static site hosting providers out there.
