    I use Bridgetown to generate a static site, powered by CMS that runs on my home server. The idea is to have as many inputs as possible to increase the chance to actually write something :P.

    For example I have a telegram integration, so I can write a quick post (notes) of things I come across when browsing, or upload a photo from my phone and post it right away.

    The CMS triggers a Netlify build, and Bridgetown consumes the API to generate the pages.

    I'm in the process to dumb this all down to just a single (Rust) binary that renders dynamic pages like it's 1999. I'll run that from my home, and maybe front it with a CDN such as Bunny.net.

    The reason for the custom CMS is that I blog about my travels and they contain a lot of photos' (think 10.000+), and most static site generators can't handle that amount, most of them try to optimise images when building, which takes ages. The CMS resizes the photos and uploads them to a CDN and since I need that anyway, it's not a lot more effort to have it store the text content too.

    Since the non-native version (they switched from a native app to Electron), it's been a lot more finicky, though with the extension not loading in browsers, it never suggesting the right password (always have to search for it) etc.

    I've seen this recommendation pop up a few times now in the past few months, so I took the plunge and added it to Audible!
