| How to Setup A Free, Fast, and Simple Blog Like This | true |
TL;DR: Netlify is incredible for hosting static websites. The code for this
entire site is available here. I publish at-will using their CLI via
netlify deploy --prod. It's simple and awesome.
Introduction
This website may not look like much, but that's intentional. It is simple
both in style, colors, and layout. It is blazing fast. It looks the same on any
device, mobile or otherwise. It uses the simple web technologies you already
know. You can use any static site generator such as Hugo or
Gatsby. And I don't pay for any of it to work! I do pay for the
domain lyte.dev, though, but you can get certain domains for completely
free.
And you can easily build on top of a system like this, extending it to do anything you could ever possibly want! Need a Content Management System (CMS)? Done. Need to deploy a complicated Single-Page Application (SPA)? Easy.
I'll show you how I put this together using tools already on your computer and how you can extend my system to use whatever tools you prefer on top of my basic ones.
Let's get started!

- Publish the site at will using Netlify (their CLI is great!)
