• who is self-hosting a static website and what are you using to build it?

  I use Metalsmith. Been happy with it. I build my site into a self-contained nginx docker image. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Configuration error even if nothing changed since last successful deploy

• Why I built my own static site generator

  A static site generator I've been enjoying lately (and using for my blog) is Metalsmith: https://metalsmith.io/ It feel like it's the best of both worlds, because it's simple to learn and customize, but there are plugins for the things you don't want to spend time writing yourself.

• Link Building for Non-Scumbags: Build Authority Without Being Awful

  Take the site write.as, for instance, which has a 70 domain authority (Moz) and a 79 domain rating (Ahrefs).  Both of those are very high scores and represent the kind of links that would probably retail for at least $400 on the gray market for backlinks.  Write.as will happily give you as many of these as you want for $6 per month. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

  On that same just write mentality there's also, https://write.as/. There are several communities that run the same site, but basically it's a blog site that has no comments, no views none of the BS and let you focus on writing. Source: almost 1 year ago

• It’s 2023. Start using JavaScript Map and Set

  I also wish write.as were more popular. It's like old Medium, but less popular but with a more reader-friendly business model and self-host-able (AGPL v3). Source: about 1 year ago

• Full screen writing app for android?

  Perhaps https://write.as will work for you? It’s very minimalist. Source: about 1 year ago
