Goodbye GitHub, Hello Netlify

After settling with GitHub Pages for a while, this website is changing hosts once again.

This time, it's moving to Netlify.

Netlify is a free hosting service, like GitHub Pages, but it seems to be much easier to work with. All you have to do is drag & drop the website files into Netlify, name your project, and Netlify starts serving it. There's no pointless commit history, your website just exists as is, letting you decide what gets preserved and what doesn't.

More than that, you can add additional websites to Netlify and they'll all be manageable from one place, while sharing a free credit system.

For my purposes, Netlify is a 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.

Let's see how it goes...
