    I run https://pinkpigeon.co.uk Just about at $500 per month in recurring hosting fees. It's a CMS which publishes static sites to Cloudflare workers sites. I've not done any market…

    We have one of these locally, but it's called a community shed, to not exclude women arbitrarily. At the same time, I still think it's mostly used by men, as it's quite focused aro…

    At pinkpigeon.co.uk we created a website builder that literally just pushes Hugo-generated sites to Cloudflare. It has been working perfectly for about a year by now. We don't use …

    Pages doesn't allow for direct deployments. Has to go via git repo + webhooks. We make static sites with our CMS and don't really want to integrate another thing into our workflow.…

    Wix are true experts at terrible UX ;) DeviantArt was the first place where I shared photography, a very, very long time ago. My account still works, funnily enough. It was a great…

    Never managed to get this to work on a laptop with an Intel 520 gpu and latest Linux Mint. Deskreen isn't the problem. It's trying to create a virtual display. You'll see my commen…

    I concur, many of my clients are 'rescues' from Wix and Wordpress and the only thing more hated than Wordpress is Wix. More often than not it comes down to the horrifyingly confusi…
