Managed to get much of the foundational work on my static site genetator working yesterday. There were so many small niggly bugs that needed to be fixed. Today I'll be testing with production data and hopefully deploy. Then I'll be able to put together the new homepage that combines all the posts. It's going to be pretty cool. #

Progress on my static site generator has been pretty good. It looks like I've managed to drastically reduce build and deploy times.
Builds had been taking 4-5 minutes recently. They appear to be back to around 60 seconds for the website which has ~19500 files. There was a bug that was causing thousands of files to change between builds, and that had also impacted deploy times to netlify, which was taking 6-7 minutes.
All in all build and deploy was regularly taking 10-12 minutes. Tests that I've run this morning indicate this to be down to 3-4 minutes. Pretty happy about that. #
