@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it sounds like they were talking about 1 of 2 things:
1) ruby on rails: a crazy-big framework for making web applications extremely fast (for an idea about how fast, the "hello world" tutorial is making a blog from scratch)
2) jekyll: a static site generator built into github for making blogs and other things really fast by mostly just editing simple markdown files
seeing that your site is a github site, i would probably look at the latter. (it's actually what i use for my site~)
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh yeah, ruby on rails also requires a server that can run custom code, so that's probably a no-go if you are trying to host on github
but if that's fine, it's actually what mastodon was written in: https://rubyonrails.org/
and here's jekyll's homepage, made with jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com/
github has builtin support for this: https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll
