jamstack.org VS crates.rs

Docusaurus is a Jamstack SSG (Static Site Generator) mainly intended for documentation and blog websites. It is a Meta Open Source project. Its configuration is done mainly through a JavaScript file called docusaurus.config.js.

Netlify has gained popularity among developers for its ease of use and powerful features. It's a great option for hosting static websites or Jamstack applications.

Jamstack architecture continues to gain popularity as a modern web development approach that focuses on pre-rendered content served from a CDN. Some benefits of Jamstack include better performance, lower cost, and greater scalability. Expect to see growth in Jamstack frameworks like Gatsby, Next.js and Nuxt.js in 2023.

More importantly, Netlify, the creator and stewards of the term Jamstack including it's canonical site, has largely abandoned the term as well, in favor of a "composable web" term that better aligns with their ambitions around becoming a broader enterprise platform including content (with tools like Netlify Connect).

I have been using the hosting environment provided by Netlify for years. I am aware there are several available including Vercelli and Heroku, to name a few, but Netlify was the first I tried and it continues to work well. It links into my Git repos on BitBucket and also offers Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) for experimentation and small projects. Netlify is also a prime advocate of the JAMStack architecture that is gaining considerable interest.

You should check out JamStack. The premise is that the majority of your site is static content and you can push it out to CDNs that are frequently cheap or free.

Perhaps this is worth checking out and utilizing when I have the time to attempt another JAMstack project. Possibly Eleventy?

That's not an accurate characterization. I wrote a lot about my position here: https://gitlab.com/crates.rs/crates.rs/-/issues/121

I believe they're referring to this issue, if you want to take a look: https://gitlab.com/crates.rs/crates.rs/-/issues/81

Citation needed, that's a pretty bold claim. The site is open source (via link in footer) so any heuristics or algo decisions should be open to whatever level of scrutiny you wish.

Mostly this issue. I do agree that crypto is scammy, but the way this whole thing was handled really rubbed me the wrong way.

Well that's just the tip of the iceberg. Lib.rs can do whatever it wants, but I do find this to be a bit silly - and I'm not particularly pro-crypto, either.
