I've literally written my own homepage system of scripts/pipelines multiple times and that was the fun. The content is not anything I'm concerned with. It's the making the process: editor, picture uploading, cdn integration, forms for feedback, pipeline to reprocess, backed by sqlite/postgresql. etc.
This is why I currently don't have a homepage... the old one doesn't interest me anymore so I deleted it.
But the impulse to build again is coming. I can feel it. This time all deployed on Kubernetes. Maybe there will be layers of BS involved: Ceph, redis, MySQL, video processing, etc
