Hey Varun,

I’ve just started using Jekyll, it’s interesting you left it behind. Do you think you’d be still using Jekyll now if it wouldn’t have been tricky to set back up again with the right version? Or do you think it is limited and you would have eventually moved on any way for some reason or other?

Cheers,

Dan.

Hey Dan, thanks for your comment. I think I would not mind continue using Jekyll if it was not so painful to do minor updates every time. Also part of the reason I left Jekyll is because I do not understand Ruby as much as I understand JavaScript. I wanted to leverage modern JavaScript stack in my website. That being said, I miss Jekyll for few of the use cases - I still have not figured out a way to set up relative pages under my domain using Gatsby. This was super easy in Jekyll. Hope this helps.
