Why I still love static sites

2 Jun 2026 · #web #meta

This is a placeholder post so the site has something to show on day one. Delete it and write your own — drop a new .md file in src/content/writing/ and it appears automatically.

why static

A static site is just files. No database to migrate, no runtime to patch, no vendor to outlive. It’s fast because there’s almost nothing to do, and it’s cheap because serving files is the one thing the web has always been good at.

The best blog is the one you actually write on.

the plan

  • weekly digests
  • projects and a photo gallery (soon)
  • a guestbook, eventually

That’s it for now. More soon.
