I’ve been slowly redoing parts of my personal website over the last year or so, continually pulled between two extremes.
1. I want to make everything federate with everything else so it’s as interoperable as possible, from #ActivityPub to #IndieWeb!
2. I want something that doesn’t add any attack surface on top of the webserver, that loads and renders super-fast, and that can be zipped up and tossed on an S3-compatible bucket in the event of financial trouble or untimely demise.
This is further complicated by the fact that all the software wants to be the only thing at the root of your website, takes extra effort to put it in a subfolder and have it actually work, and why would you want to have a mix of static pages, blog, and microblog in different places on the same hostname?
