I believe the most minimalistic and productive way is to just use php. The language was specifically just created for that. If it's a simple site then you don't need composer you don't need router logic. just create separate files for header footer navigation and include them on each page.

#32For information, static sites are unchallenged imho. Even for a certain level of collaboration, I think one could get away with using static sites. I haven't tried this in practice but imagine having a git-based CI/CD flow for a static site, where non-technical end users could use the web-based Markdown editors of github.com or gitlab.com to make small changes, save and push via a pull request. Each merge is of cours…
I'm a technical writer and this is how I'm running docs at my company. You'd be shocked at how easy it was to get one of our content marketers comfortable enough to start opening pull requests for an internal-only docs site. (It helped that I assured them that, thanks to how branches and approval workflows function, absolutely no changes they made could ever wreck the live site.)

Are there ways to view tweets without an account? Kind of like archive.is? For now, I could enter it in Google and view cache, but I assume that will go away soon.
And if I understand correctly, it's not the index.php, but the actual service behind it, that earns thousands per month. Looks nice :)

Probably doesn't need jquery either as most of its functionality is now native to browsers.
Also fwiw, another one here without a logged in Twitter acc

if you want simple, you can't beat PHP + HTML. I wouldn't actually go that simple for anything that's more than a single purpose script, usually I would at least have a separate templating library, but it's really nice that you can do it.

There are a number of simple frameworks, but soon you are back to the common bloat from adding too many frameworks.

And here is you getting nagged by someone for a suggestion which will nag me too.

#39A tiny mostly static website written by one person certainly doesn’t need anything special.
A website/webapp with millions of visits per day and a ton of stakeholders requesting features every week, on the other hand...
It all depends on the use case, like most stuff.

Ya, or any server side scripting language. You just want the ability to refactor your site, as in, name, save, and load data and code blocks.
And if html allowed inserting html as it does css or js from external files, even that would be mostly be redundant. If only it let you use at will.
