I was thinking of the concept of running a blog like #Lamb in CI, with the artefact hosted as HTML somewhere. Of course this is the essence of what a static site generator (SSG) is. The downside of a SSG is that the publish experience is not up to the same standard as a server-side blog, as the data structure not enforced in the editor and things like search don't exist or are limited.
Posting directly from Discord has the same problems as the above. It probably is a worse editing experience but you'd not have a site to manage.
Headless then is splitting off the rendering from the authoring, running that locally, syncing up the database to the cloud (sqlite, so just 1 file!) and having some minor render/search component chewing out the web-pages as needed. This seems overly complicated in the local setup and "Getting up and running" flows.
So there is still a need of a web admin of sorts and a rendering layer. I just need to add smart caching to Lamb so it's doing minimal work, should this need to scale out further than it does ā who even knows how far this already scales, I have done zero optimisation.
Apart from that Lamb is on the right track for friction-free simple blogging. #technology
