what are some static site generators people are using in production? I think this could be used to further optimize the output.

( Case in point, yesterday I spent all day trying to follow examples to turn Divjoy react website into a simple html to serve from S3 bucket. I can't believe how hard that was and I am still struggling. Ideally something that can just auto-deploy to S3 bucket and point domains to it. It hurts that I paid money for it and the developer is gone, discord is abandoned. This is why I always prefer FOSS )

Hi! Happy you enjoyed it! I would have expected better results for Performance metrics! If you don't mind sharing your static site output pre-jampack I would enjoy checking out. georges [at] divriots [dot] com

Just want to say this two comment interaction is a perfect distilled example of value of posting to HN for such things.

I would say it's exactly why I miss the network of forums of old internet, where this interaction was common on pretty much any subject matter from video game saves to tooling to whatever.

Facebook groups, discord rooms, reddit subs and the likes just aren't the same, they all feel so impersonal and detached, in some people compete for internet points, in others everything is ephemeral and closed off ... Maybe it's just nostalgia / me being old.

Sam's Law:

"As an idea or subject gains wider popularity and interest, the level of passion and laser focus on the _outcomes_ of the idea or subject gets diluted to the average level of understanding of the interested audience for the core subject"

This looks great! Although personally I hate it when I scroll a page beyond the 'fold' and have to wait for images to load. By default, does this load the remaining below-the-fold content in the background once the above-the-fold stuff is complete?

It does not. It leverages native lazy loading. All major browsers treat a `loading="lazy"` attribute as meaning "do not load this image/iframe until it is nearly in view." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/im...

However, this does inline aspect ratios, so the layout won't change after they're done loading - the cardinal sin of lazy loading.

If my website is an image-heavy portfolio that I wrote myself in pure HTML/CSS/JS with zero dependencies whatsoever... does a tool like this offer me any value? What could it do here?

My site consists of a project grid (large thumbnails) and project page with hi-rez (3200x2000) images in a JS slideshow I wrote.

> Facebook groups, discord rooms, reddit subs and the likes just aren't the same

I think it depends on which ones you're using. There are some facebook groups and subreddits I use that still feel very much like a small-forum, where people are generally good and helpful and many of the users are regulars. I haven't seen any discord rooms like that except for some ones that are direct spinoffs of the facebook groups and subreddits I mentioned, so that seems more like a credit to the users than the medium.

I think they have to be pretty niche, though. But to be fair, forums of the old internet also had similar issues where once they reached a certain size the experience was different/worse than when they were smaller.

This reminds me of the PageSpeed modules for Apache and Nginx https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module

I believe the project is not maintained anymore.

Github repository is archived: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pagespeed-ngx.

Or has it perhaps moved to some other location?
