1 points · Open discussionYou know, I've been using the Bitbucket & Netlify ecosystem for my Wild Mind[1] website for a little over a year. I moved from a self-install of WordPress on Digital Ocean to the Victor Hugo[2] boilerplate and then used my own theme. It's been an absolute joy to build with and I've actually been excited to continue to write because the friction to doing so is largely gone. Really can't recommend Netlify or Hugo enough.
