This is a demo site

For the average person, if you want to write an article or blog, raw HTML and CSS is a great way to share information that is easily readable, sharable, and accessible.

If you do want a blog, why not use something like Substack, WordPress, or something else? There are several reasons why you might do it yourself:

• You can customize your site to look exactly how you want, without needing to pay for premium themes or customization features
• A lot of times you can't take your posts with you if you want to switch platforms
• If you depend on one of those cloud services, you run the risk of them deleting your content because they disagreed with it or you said something controversial
• You want to learn something new

Then there are some less obvious reasons:

• Handcoded websites load much faster (this demo page is over 1500x smaller than a post on Substack)
• You respect people’s privacy by not embedding invasive trackers and spyware
• Javascript isn't included by default
• Ad-free!
