The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@RapidOwl But if it is all pre-rendered, then you could serve it from anywhere. Including entirely from a CDN with no origin server involved at request time. That's what makes JAMstack sites so massively resilient and scalable.

And you can use PE in the client with APIs to enrich further.

@RapidOwl Almost. But a tiny misunderstanding here.

A key attribute is what happens at request time.
If you need to execute logic on a server at request time, like generating a view from a data and a template, then your site isn't "pre-rendered". That's the main distinction.

@DavidDarnes @Netlify Whatever your results (I’ve got you, Dave), that’s not what our support team typically recommends.

@leewilsoncomedy @radioverulam @ItsHumdingers @AbbeyTheatreStA @MarcelLucont It's tiny! Look at how our heads compare to the size of that microphone! Yours is twice as large. Mine is about the same.

Unless it needs a webserver that you maintain.

@slightlylate Aaaaah, luxury car brands! I’ve contributed to some staggeringly slow websites for some very high-end car brands in the past. The platform we were forced to build with gave me heartburn.

@harshamv @AdGuard Oh that's frustrating. Thanks @harshamv. Since we offer free hosting and people can use a subdomain on http://netlify.com, I think this is bashed our rating. We've been looking into that.

@Rumyra @Netlify RESULT!

I think that hosting your own blog /portfolio is really valuable. The excellent @lauragift21 blogged about exactly that recently.

@marsty5 I don't see why feedback can't be useful whenever you feel receptive to it. I think that I sought feedback after gigs which felt "good" to me. And probably received feedback at gigs which did not. :)

I bet you feel your rhythm or style emerging waaaay before 100. Just enjoy!

@marsty5 I'm no expert. But 100 gigs seems like an arbitrary number (which I've heard too).

Personally, I think it depends on how often you gig, how much material you explore, and what quality the gigs are. (I don't mean *your* quality. I mean how.. um... real the audience is)

@Rumyra It's one of those things I take a bit for granted now, TBH. But they are really handy!

I like to add one to any examples I make so that people can replicate them for themselves and set up all of the @Netlify CI/CD pipeline, serverless function etc... all in one click.

I was working in agency-land back in 2016 when @Netlify introduced their Deploy Button. I instantly loved it.

It let me create a set of project starter templates which could all be cloned to bootstrap new projects with a single click.
