I have to say, I'm so over WordPress that those static site generators are looking pretty sweet right about now.

Pshaw... just write it in raw HTML. It's an incredibly legible markup language. I talk to my spouse in HTML just to stay sharp.

I just write all my blog posts inside the empty line of this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
    <title>My Blog</title>

</html>

Keep it simple, stupid!

Right? I'm tired of my admin dashboard being a wall of plugin advertisements (especially from plugins I already pay for).

Omg the ads. How are they even allowed to get away with that?!

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

Presumably because we let them by continuing to use their products. It's definitely bullshit though - every time I log into a site I managed my dashboard is littered with notification banners. Most are legit notifications (albeit there should be a proper log for that), but the actual ads for plugins are maddening.

I went with eleventy and pure markdown files and I never looked back.

I say this as a person who loves WordPress and contributes to the open-source project.
