Those using static site generators - how do you handle search?
The author seems adamant that blog.domain.com is a worse setup than domain.com/blog - I've seen this argument go back and forth a lot, with both sides claiming advantages and disadvantages. I am interested to hear the consensus from HN users as to which is better, and why.
I feel like x.example.com is preferred over example.com/x because it is simpler to move the files around (when you want the same app/bundle of static files to be y.example.com). Browsers by default will make into x.example.com/foo/bar.html when served from x.example.com, but it won't make it into example.com/x/foo/bar.html when served from example.com/x/; something else has to make sure the URLs are correct. The opti…

Similar issues from my side. Cryptic documentation, bad dissorganized forum and configuration,... I love the hugo idea but to find one detail you will get into chaos of strange wording and noise. I am using it but I try to configure as small amount as possible as I always get into some undesired behaviour. It seems like it was from begining build with idea and then continued by patch over patch over patch. Cant recom…
I decided I would make a static site the old fashioned way on neocities.org and happily got started. And then I remembered all the double work you have to do linking and making lists and repeating headers/footers (or use frames) and so on. Now I'm back to looking for some simple script that can output static sites without having to spend a month learning a new tool...
It's not pretty to look at, but it can be read, understood, and maintained by one person.
What I do lack is something interesting to write about, in a consistent manner. I have been writing code for a long time. I did build some interesting stuff. I'm currently working on a startup that does use some blog-worthy tech: any attempt ends up with very long essay-shaped posts, which are extremely time-consuming to write and frankly not so interesting.
Any suggestion on how to find a niche and consistently write about it?

That provides protection for if someone manages to get a malicious script into your blog, they can't start making authenticated requests (since it isn't the same origin).

In the Hugo example, completely agree. But sometimes it can make sense:
Example.com vs members.example.com vs login.example.com
Example.com can be a static website, while login attempts go to the login domain (which also helps for auth/postback config), and members might be the dynamic content that is viewable once logged in. separates infrastructure in an easy way that has no real impact on SEO
This editor should be small, self-contained and secure and could be located in a separate access-restricted area of the site.

It's a mess, and evokes abject horror in some people, but I'll continue to defend the merit of just writing a shell script. I moved it to hugo years ago (ironically) but my old site worked like that: https://github.com/japanoise/website/blob/cdf728d4ebea75cbc9...
