> Do you have a wishlist of features to add to GitHub pages? Maybe allowing minimal sandboxed server side computation with a max runtime of say 1ms, setting headers, redirects or other stuff? I am guessing every little addition would eat away at the alternatives.
Moving from WordPress, the fact that you couldn't constantly tweak a thousand little things was extremely liberating. That's the zen-like simplicity of GitHub Pages that to me, makes it an attractive option over heavyweight alternatives. Just push and your site is live. Fewer things to break and fewer things to worry about means more time to focus on what matters: your content.
