Maybe you’re interested in what I’m using for this here website.

1. The server is nginx running on Debian
2. That’s it!

The only thing on this website are some webpages! No CGI, no PHP, no node.js—nothing other than static HTML.

Locally, that’s a different story.

1. Debian on Windows 10 through WSL 2
2. A webserver for Pollen running Racket

This is the true magic. I program webpages just like this one, basically get a REPL by going to localhost:8080, and then just render and scp the files here. The pages are templated, but the template is baked in. I basically write in a jailbroken Markdown.

As long as I keep a static design, I have the easiest stack in the world.
