I've been using Nanoblogger, a Bash-based static website generator, for about ten years. It hasn't been updated in the last four, and indeed is still hosted on SourceForge. I could switch to something newer and better, but why bother?

Security updates for instance.

Github to host static page because CSS Flexbox and HTML are so easy and will be well supported in 2017.

I use Swift Sever Side framework for backend and Sveltejs (https://Svelte.technology) for front-end JavaScript to handle just about anything that jQuery could and a lot easier to run same compiled modules code on Nodejs and web browsers with Rollup.

Less worry than running frameworks that will encounter bugs that may take time to resolve e.g. React, Angular 1/2 have enormous issues since 2014/2013, Swift and Sveltejs are a great combination. I roll, I roll, I roll out in 2017!

Pssst. DOM are fastest when you only need to update a small portion of your code and majority of use case with DOM manipulation is fine.

I'm toying with Google App Engine and writing a mini-CMS/ecommerce thing in Python. To create products, categories, and subcategories, you just create folders.

A friend had difficulties with Wordpress + Woocommerce I set for them and I figured everyone knows folders.

I'm tinkering with it from time to time. (As you might notice, I'm also learning web dev, CSS and stuff)..
