- hailpixel 2y agoSimon's site runs on Django: https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog https://github.com/simonw/simonwillisonblog, which is unsurprising as he is one of Django's co-creators. But I agree with you, a great use case for a Next.js-esque static site.
- rednafi 2y agoSSG are indeed a perfect fit for this. But you do need to figure out a few things like search (client side), RSS, and how to organize things. I didn't want to maintain a dedicated backend for my blog and integrated a link blog to my static site. Wrote about it here: https://rednafi.com/misc/link_blog/ https://rednafi.com/misc/link_blog/
- cmdtab 2y agoWhy not use notion and their website feature with custom domain? It has an extension to clip pages as bookmarks. You could add it as a subdomain (bookmarks.website.com) It’s easier to update compared to hosting your own CMS and frontend.
