Thank you for sharing this (and for 'Permission not required' podcast).
I find that I need to be really careful not to 'other do' features because it's so easy to just respond 'yes' when your are asked something like 'do you want me to also ...' by an agent. Having a clear vision of where you want to go is key to not get lost in a massive amount of unneeded code and features.
Hi Joe! I can resonate with this. My website is a Hugo static site with markdown as posts. Its hosted for free somewhere. Something in me loves the simplicity of it, but it's not feature rich. No comments. No way for a user to subscribe through email. No "one-click-publish" workflow. I'm tempted to build all this infrastructure around it myself. But after reading your setup, I might follow in your footsteps. I'll be looking into substack for the blog and turning my website into a business card. What other options did you explore before landing with this setup?
Definitely keep it static! Having the newsletter live on Substack has been really nice so far.
I tried this migration in the past (ha!) and experimented with a simpler Rails app, Bridgetown, and Sitepress. But Jekyll is still the best for this kind of stuff IMO.
Good insight, thank you for this !

So true! Honestly, I might add a skill/rule that tells Claude to never reply with a question like that.
