Welcome to the Lemmygrad programming community! This is a space where programmers of all levels can discuss programming, ask for help with problems, and share their personal programming projects with others.


Rules

  1. Respect all users, regardless of their level of knowledge in programming. We're here to learn and help each other improve.
  2. Keep posts relevant to programming and related topics.
  3. Respect people's personal preferences. If you disagree with someone's choice of programming language, method of formatting code, or anything else, don't attack the poster. Genuine criticism is fine, but personal attacks are not.
  4. In order to promote breaks from typing, all code snippets must be photos of code written on paper.
    Just kidding :), please use proper markdown code blocks.

Hey comrades,

I'm mostly familiar with WordPress and esp NextJS for web development and so far only for smaller private projects. Because of React's ties to Meta I'm quite sceptical if it'd be wise and safe to use it for more political content. What would yous recommend? Or are they fine to use?

Cheers

They’re all open source; I see no issue.

Sweet, thanks. Any recs for hosting? I've mostly used vercel and github so far for NextJS projects and a variety for WordPress. The cloudbased CMS are comfortable as hell to set up, but I can't imagine they'd be slim and secure enough for a political project?

I don't know if there's anything against being political (don't think so, since /u/dessalines@lemmy.ml has one such repo), but I'd imagine Codeberg could be a good alternative to hosting your codebase, so long as it's FOSS. And they include Codeberg in their recommendations for code hosting.

Whats The use case here? Does it have to be dynamic? An static site is a lot easier to protect and get online

[–] RustySerpent@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Should be somewhat dynamic. At least some basic blogging functionality would be needed. Adding posts, categories, etc. Nothing fancy, no user management etc

I like hugo for this kind of blog, you just edit .md files that will be your blog posts and commit.

Sounds interesting, thanks! I'll look into it. Is it possible to integrate it with React?

I've been trying to accomplish something similar with NextJS + TinaCMS. The CMS effectively just commits .md files there too, NextJS handles the routing. It works quite well with Vercel, I just (maybe unjustly) feel somewhat uncomfortable with that degree of cloud-integration and cross-dependencies in a political project.

I think yes, but I will look into it tomorrow.
