I discovered Netlify through Netlify CMS. I had a pretty bad opinion about Netlify CMS, so I was pretty sure Netlify was going to be at least as bad.

Damn, I have never been so wrong:

  - the interface is so intuitive I never opened the documentation
  - this is FAST (the bottleneck to see my website live is now my browser cache)
  - no need to create a Github Actions pipeline to deploy, just say "hey, my repo is here"
  - automatically integrated with Let's Encrypt for custom domains
  - deploy previews!!!

And so much more.
