Thinking About This Blog

I've been loving using Remix recently for smaller side projects and that got me thinking about whether this blog would be better suited running in that particular framework.

I've only used fly.io and deployments are pretty slow with Remix. This is fine when you're working with a bigger project that has a database and more complexity.

With something like a blog I want it to be super lightweight. What I love about my currently setup with create-react-app and Netlify is that the build and deploy steps take ~20 seconds. I have an rss script that generates the RSS file and puts it in the correct place in my blog folder structure and then a deploy-blog script that orchestrates the Netlify CLI and deploys the code.

I think I'm sticking with this setup for now!
