I fell in love with Nuxt. It's the best framework for building modern websites I know and working with it is so satisfying I refuse to spend time looking for alternatives. So yea, you may argue with me, advocating for your favorite solutions, but it is unlikely, I will listen. If you want to know it better, I have an ongoing tutorial series.

Project mention: I Kept Searching for the Same Converter Tools — So I Built One Site for All of Them quickconvert.dev | dev.to | 2026-06-13
I also wanted to try Astro for a while. I kept hearing it was great for content-heavy sites because of how little JavaScript it ships by default. A converter site felt like the perfect use case — mostly static pages with one interactive tool on each.

I built my Portfolio using Hexo, a blazing-fast NodeJS blog generator. Since all the site's deployable-assets are simple static HTML/CSS/JS (like in the old days of web), all the portfolio needed for deployment is a fast, "compute" instance for /public to be deployed to, such as those provided by Google Cloud Run. That said, I not only tested my portfolio site in a Docker image, using a Dockerfile authored by Google's Gemini 3 Flash (utilized from my GitHub CoPilot, from within Visual Studio Code), saving me the time taken to write a Dockerfile, but I also used Gemini to gracefully-upgrade all the NodeJS project's hexo dependencies in its NodeJS package.json (such as its SASS renderer), testing the hexo generation outputs from within my Docker image's run in localhost, then simply deploying said image to Cloud Run, all without missing a beat. Having now used CoPilot for coding via AIs such as Gemini, throughout much of last year 2025, I've learned AI not only makes you a stronger programmer since you really have to pay close attention to the Agent's outputs for it aligning with your tech-design decisions, but it allows me to do a lot less typing. And what dev likes to type a lot? Not me, that's for sure. Less is more!

I cloned Paddle's NextJS starter kit[1] and incorporated my previous reporting code built with Observable Framework[2].
It actually took longer to get the domain and my identity verified by Paddle than to develop the site. It just launched but I hope it becomes a success!

Project mention: Free static site generator for small restaurants and cafes | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-02Frontmatter CMS is a VSCodium plugin that works as a somewhat user-friendly CMS for the likes of Hugo. https://frontmatter.codes/
I set it up for my brother to run his static blog, and it's quite good if you like that kind of thing. There are some quirks where it gets confused if you rename mycoolarticle.md, so I still prefer using notepad++ and git and CLI for mine.

Project mention: How I fixed my blog's performance issues by writing a new Jekyll plugin | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-28
I use Jekyll for my company website [1] and managed to get a lot of speed optimisations simply by using a post-processing tool on the statically generated output.
The tool I use is Jampack and I'd highly recommend it: https://jampack.divriots.com
For my product website, it reduced the overall size by 590MB or approximately 59% in size along with changing the HTML/CSS to make the optimisations that this article notes.

Prerender macro injection via renderOn="build". When Brisa encounters , the AST transform constructs ImportAttribute nodes by hand to inject import {__prerender__macro} from 'brisa/macros' with { type: "macro" }. There's a quirk: Meriyah uses value on Literal nodes where astring expects name. That's an actual comment in the Brisa source code: // This astring is looking for "name", but meriyah "value". You only discover that kind of thing by staring at trees.
