All the Bits Fit to Print
Overview of home CMS features, architecture, and deployment design
home is a content authoring system similar to Hugo or Zola but with a server component that enables advanced features like login and search, making it more than a static site generator.
Why it matters: home offers integrated features such as GitHub/Patreon login and advanced search unavailable in pure static site generators.
The big picture: home uses a multi-tenant architecture with separate servers for deploy management and edge caching, enhancing scalability and performance.
The stakes: The choice of niche tech like JPEG-XL and AV1 may limit accessibility due to limited browser support.
Commenters say: Users appreciate the system’s integration and reliability but question the use of less-supported media formats like JPEG-XL.
