This looks fantastic. I just started a podcast and was planning to test publishing with cloudflare since it seems much cheaper than the alternatives (and planning to backup to…

Forestry has been on my radar for a long time but never had a need to use it https://forestry.io/ The big draw for me is it's just Hugo/Gatsby/Jekyll underneath, and the output…
chedabob on HNForestry is shutting down and pushing people to Tina instead. I guess it is the same company? I don't really know.
