I’m all for getting rid of pluto if this is replacing it

Happy new year! Here’s some pizza for the party

For a static site, I would personally choose Astro or SvelteKit—both of those are highly optimized for static sites. In my opinion the syntax of these frameworks feels closer to plain HTML/CSS/JS than React and will naturally teach you more about the fundamentals as you go.

If you’re just starting out, the most important thing is to really make sure you learn your JavaScript Web APIs and other HTML and CSS fundamentals as you go. The better you know these, the better your websites will be regardless of which framework or tools you choose. These fundamental skills will have the highest reward for you in the long term.

And ask a ton of questions here too!

I know there are documentation generators (like JSDoc in JavaScript) where you can literally write documentation in your code and have a documentation site auto-generated at each deployment. There’s definitely mixed views on this though

Yes! If you’re comfortable with Django, that’ll definitely work, not overkill at all.

If you’re down to get your hands dirty with JS, Astro is really easy to learn and can be extremely powerful if needed. TypeScript or JSDoc will give you the types in JavaScript you’re looking for, and that’s built-in to Astro too. SvelteKit is similar to Astro’s syntax but has more powerful server-side tools built-in and is my personal favorite.

Up to you, really just depends on how much you want to learn.

Umami is actually pretty great for simple analytics, has 3 websites in their free cloud plan, and is self-hostable. Plausible is also self-hostable. You can host them easily on your own machine with EasyPanel, CapRover, or Coolify

Hot is likely just a blend between Active and New to give you a good balance of popular content and encourage engagement with posts that were just posted. The algorithm could definitely be improved, but I’d bet as Lemmy grows in content and content creators Hot sorting will get better too

I’d recommend umami. It’s privacy-focused, you don’t need to put up a cookie notice, and it’s got a good free plan. You can always self-host too. Plausible is comparable, but doesn’t have a free plan unless you self-host

Yes you’re right, implementing OAuth or similar would fix this
