Developing Some New Software for the Sites

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 12, 2025

Sites run by simplified SSGs that you yourself develop have a lot of advantages. You can extend them to suit your needs. You might say, "oh, but you can make a plugin for some CMS!"

Sure, you can.

Then the large company maintaining something such as Drupal or WordPress will force you to update to some new version (for security reasons, at the very least) and your plugin (or functionality) will cases to be compatible. That sucks.

Hooks change. Overhauls are all too common. Those large companies don't care about your functionality. They dictate you. You must always follow their whims and their "Big Decisions".

I've been there before. Even more than 20 years ago when I 'hacked' on my WordPress installations.

Sites that are static are in more control over their future and present direction.

Today we added some more tools. They'll be in Git. █
