I'm starting work on a new product: Nudgsicle

I'm just beginning work on a new product that I'm calling Nudgsicle. I had the idea while working at my day job, and I've created an internal tool to help remind developers about code that's ready for review. I'm planning to turn it into a product that hopefully will help some people outside of my company. Find out more here and in future posts: https://www.nudgsicle.com/.

Setting up the marketing page was a much bigger pain than I thought it would be. I wanted something "serverless" that wouldn't require that I have a server up and running 24/7 but could scale if the site got a decent amount of traffic. I looked into various options - including https://www.webiny.com/, static site generators, Wordpress, etc. I ended up landing on a static site generator hugo (which I hadn't used before) and AWS Cloudfront and S3 (which I had used before - there's a nice tutorial here: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/cloudfront-serve-static-website). I'll report back on how well it's working for me.
