My website, https://cyrialize.dev/, is hosted on Neocities. I used jekyll to create it and I use water.css which I found on CSS Bed (https://www.cssbed.com/). The Neocities gem is VERY useful.
My process is super simple, it's basically:
- Make changes
- Commit & Push
- jekyll build
- neocities push _site/
I'm using it to deploy my own site (which happens to be subscription, but that isn't required): https://metaluna.io/
How do you upload files without WebDAV? As far as I know, there's no API.
BTW I'm not sure if it still exists, but they had a lifetime supporter account, where you can get a lifetime subscription for $100 in Bitcoin. I got it to support the effort, though I don't really use it, but a bunch of Terabytes of bandwidth and 50 GB of hosting space won't go to waste.
This uses their official CLI RubyGem along with the token you can get through the web interface.
