So how does this site work? Basically, instead of getting fancy-pants with WordPress, PHP, and other server-side languages; you simply host your website with GitHub Pages. Then Jekyll (“a static site generator”) combines templates with content that you write in Markdown, and spews forth perfect, ready-to-upload little files ✨
Free, Flexible, Future-proof. Your blogging platform du jour (e.g., Medium, Quora, Revue) may eventually shut down or hold you hostage to fees; whereas this solution is the happy opposite…because “plain text is forever” and file over app.
