Goodbye GitHub, Hello Netlify

Looks like this website is changing hosts once again.

This time, it's moving from GitHub Pages to Netlify.

Netlify is a free web hosting service, like GitHub Pages, but it appears much easier to work with. All I have to do is drag & drop the website files into Netlify, and Netlify starts serving it. There's no pointless commit history, the website just exists as is. That way, I get more control over gets preserved and what doesn't.

For my purposes, Netlify is a clear winner. I can manage multiple web experiments at the same time and take them down as quickly as I launch them. Unlike GitHub Pages, which is build on preserving every version of your project, Netlify just lets you focus on your current work.

Plus, I can still add a custom domain name later, just like with GitHub Pages. Seems like a no-brainer.

The only thing I'll have to watch out for is Netlify's usage limits on the free plan. Pages that exceed these limits are 'paused,' becoming temporarily inaccessible.

Let's see how it goes...
