Assuming your blog is technical, this would have been a good chance to get some more traffic by at least mentioning the actual domain, linking to the github repo, or having one or both of those in your profile. Edit: Not sure why this has been met with a stream of downvotes. Is there something wrong with saying "I use a different approach to publish this blog: [link]," especially if it's technical and would be of int…
"Edit 2: I don't generally care where a post is but this went from -2 to +6 pretty quickly. Weird?" Probably I can answer that :) I noticed that when one of my posts get down voted even when having a neutral comment, it swings back to positive fast when touching -1 or -2. I guess that the gray comment takes a while for HN'ers to notice as down voted. And when they find that there is nothing wrong with it or they actu…
I think we need to clarify what a down vote is... My assumption was it was to flag something mean or off topic. Now People seem to use it to say "I disagree with your opinion but am too lazy to express my own".

#113Are there any walkthroughs from zero to all done of best practices to setup a _product website_ using a static generator (Jekyll, Hugo, or whatever) rather than a _blog_?
I will see what is required to swap something like the kube theme into this guide:

"There are a few concepts this theme employs to make a personal documentation site.
It’s important to read this as you may not see what you expect upon launching."Re: Building a fast, secured and free static site in less than three hours

Ask HN: Why has the downvoting timelimit been reduced? | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12330029 (Aug 2016)
TL;DR: I think it would be a big mistake to [...] outlaw downvoting for disagreement - dang (HN mod)

#118Holy cow. Is this an improvement? Remember in 1999 when you could get a static website up in 3 minutes using ftp?

#119I host mine on Digital Ocean. I commit the code to github, dev branch is deployed to stg.mydomain and master is deployed to mydomain. In terms of deployment, I use Caddy which, with ~3 lines of config will auto-TLS your site using Lets Encrypt, and handle renewing the certs for you each month. Caddy also automatically pulls your changes, builds them with hugo and deploys them with ~2 more lines of config. It's the ea…
> It's the easiest solution (as a developer) I've come across where I just commit to Github and my blog is updated
I'm not sure how that's easier than GH Pages or Netlify and both of those have the bonus of being free, HA and don't require that you monitor anything for uptime.
