As a side question since I just noticed -- why does their smallweb static
site generator feature a Twitch.tv replacement above the fold? Who is
their audience?
Owncast is a fediverse replacement for livestreaming (very early alphastage). I don't think the static site generator incorporates it, I thinkthey just make it easier to install beside your blog/site (in case youwant to host a livestream.)
Why a static site generator is responsible for installing/configuringanother separate web application is a bit odd to me, but that's modernweb tooling for you.
I do agree though, the concept that "Your site needs an application tomanage it" that seems to have been incepted into everyone's minds is abit ridiculous. Just put some html and css in a folder and point a webserver at it. Save yourself the headache.
