I just rewrote my personal website ( https://anonyfox.com ) to become statically generated (zola, runs via github Action) so the result is just plain and speedy HTML. I even used a minimal classless „css framework“ and ontop I am hosting everything via cloudflare workers sites, so visitors should get served right from CDN edge locations. No JS or tracking included.
As snappy as I could imagine, and I hope that this will make a perceived difference for visitors.
While average internet speed might increase, I still saw plenty of people browsing websites primarily on their phone, with bad cellular connections indoor or via a shared WiFi spot, and it was painful to watch. Hence, my rewrite (still ongoing).
Do fellow HNers also feel the „need for speed“ nowadays?
You can now run the Lstein fork[1] with M1 as of a few hours ago.
This adds a ton of functionality - GUI, Upscaling & Facial improvements, weighted subprompts etc.
This has been a big undertaking over the last few days, and I highly recommend checking it out. See the mac m1 readme [3]
