Sorry - what is "static blogging?"
It's the Fixie bike of the internet - so if you're not a coding hipster don't worry about it.

#32"Never worry about getting your site hacked. Since there isn’t a database, there’s nothing to hack." Please. Seriously statiq.io wants prospective clients to believe this is their view on "hacking sites"?
Compromise the S3 bucket that holds my site, then.
I can't. But then again Hacker News is full of examples and hacks that I'm incapable of pulling off. So that doesn't really mean anything.

Seriously - there's always some attack vector. I got notified a few months ago that an old static blog on one of my personal sites that I had totally forgotten about was hacked (bad permissions + some feedback form).
Most web hosts have some form of caching available to customers so the concurrency argument doesn't hold up well either.

#34There's nothing about why you're moving your clients to static blogging engines, except maybe because you're trying to sell themes to them. I'd downvote this, if my karma was sufficient to render the downvote.
Yeah, the original title was different. But it's because I'd never heard of static blogging and it didn't have any good themes.

#35Are you serious? Are you stuck in 1997? Have you ever heard of wp-supercache or wp-totalcache? Or even setting up an nginx server with built in cache? C'mon dude. Static followers are so few and they're just hard core people. Stop wasting your time.
The reason static followers are so few is because it sucks, but so does Wordpres. Statiq is going to actually make static blogging accessible to people

#38out of curiosity, do you take paypal?
For me it's out of necessity. This is the third thing I tried to buy in the last few weeks, where my card was declined. All three were using Stripe to process payments. The sellers all tell me they can't get any detailed errors from Stripe, and I should just check with my bank or try another card. This is why I often choose Paypal when offered the choice. No bullshit errors about my card being declined or my address…
I hate the fact that Stripe doesn't offer a gateway mode, with buyer accounts, etc. I'd feel a lot safer entering my financial info on Stripe.com than on a random site that happens to say it's powered by Stripe.
