Using Netlify instead of Github Pages

[geekyme]

Advantages:

• Simplify deployment. No more docs/ folder in version control. Just push new code to repo, and a github webhook will hit netlify to pull the source code for deployment.

• Potentially better savings on page speed

• Access to Netlify CDN & Netlify CMS

• Free, with SSL too.

Disadvantages:

• More lock in to a vendor
• Netlify CI can only build static site. So if we want to do more stuff like running tests, those will still go into github workflow.

@geekyme , I kinda prefer to keep everything in a single place if possible , so it keep things simple for now. I like our current because everything is in github. The more tools we use, the messier/more complicated it could get.

Make sense. 👍🏻 I'll close this for now as an idea in the future if we need it.
