It's mind-boggling the way advertisement-free hosting for small web sites has become a "product giveaway" like socks at a vendor booth.

I'll take it, though.

(This is why I've been spending so much time playing with the CMS ecosystem for static sites in my recent Dev posts. I love the idea of eliminating a friend's $100/year Wordpress hosting bill and their $90/year Squarespace-ish site bill.)

I’m slowly getting into Gatsby, I think I like the idea of it but I am not convinced yet.

Yeah, Gatsby seems to be the way all the CMSes that're closest to Squarespace are leaning, so I'm working my way through learning enough JavaScript / React to make some "buy vs. build" decisions for my friend. (They do really like their Squarespace-ish site.)
