Static sites FTW

For years, I've longed to return to blogging on my own personal website, breaking free from the reliance on third-party platforms. A few days ago, I finally took the plunge.

Two major hurdles had always stood in my way: hosting and framework selection. I previously used WordPress, but my PHP experience is outdated, and WordPress feels overly complex for my current needs.

My preference for Django and Python led me to consider them for my blog, but I also wanted to avoid hosting costs. I utilize GitHub Pages, and my previous site was built with React, but I desired a JavaScript-free solution.

Ultimately, I discovered a straightforward solution using Django Distill. This tool compiles a Django application into a static site. For a more detailed explanation of my decision and the implementation process, please visit my new blog:
