Markdown Madness: Static Sites for Fun & Profit
summary
Live demos show actual work not fluff: a domain is bought live, DNS pointed to Cloudflare, and sites are deployed to Netlify and GitHub Pages with build logs and preview PRs; Jekyll, MkDocs (Python), Hugo (Go) and Docusaurus (React/MDX) are compared by concrete tradeoffs; VS Code extensions and Front Matter CMS are used to edit and manage media; JSON Resume and littlelink.io examples get generated and hosted; the deployments complete and previews render, proving friction and costs are real and small.
