I'm a passionate learner and sharer. I always try to give back to the developer community. I create mobile and Web applications by day. Games, Podcasts and Livestreams by night.
I fully agree, but rendering relative dates client side isn't exactly heavy client side rendering. You could even defer the script until the site has finished loading, and you wouldn't need a framework or library

Great post! I've been meaning to dig deeper into Netlify, especially since the release of Netlify Dev.
I accidentally started using preview deploys on GitHub pull requests. Looks like branch deploys are pretty sweet. No need for a PR to preview!
Netlify CMS seems pretty good too, and already has starter templates for most common frameworks so you can quickly get started with it.
Agreed. In fact, I have a two part series covering Netlify CMS here on dev.to.
Oh nice one! Just checked it out and it looks great.
Thanks for this article! Netlify is awesome, and this article made me want to dive deeper into it's features.
Thanks for the post, it never even occurred to me that schedule a deploy using zapier, fantastic idea.
Thank You.
The date information should be rendered client side to not have to build your site every day.
Static sites will usually outperform sites with heavy client side rendering, especially on mobile devices as they seem to hate JavaScript :D

I could do that but the randomization of the featured items requires it as well anyway.
I didn't know about Netlify-Dev !
Well... They blow my mind... again 😆 !
Thanks for the tips .
