onclebob.com just launched.
Keeping this brief, but it feels like a milestone: Oncle Bob meaningfully moves the needle in the direction xmit was always meant to head — an effort to simplify putting sites on the web.
The xmit CLI isn't going anywhere. Professional organizations should still rely on CI/CD pipelines for deployment. The CLI is a wonderful tool for people comfortable taming it.
But for everyone else, Oncle Bob opens the door to a dramatically better experience around static sites. Now I can write guides for starting a blog on a fully self-managed stack without worrying that mandatory command-line usage will scare readers away.
I don't know that I'll write such guides myself anytime soon. In the meantime, I loved reading Adam's guide, which reminded me that DNS is another pain point worth addressing.
