I was visiting phoenix web framework website and I was shocked to see wappalyzer (Firefox Add-On) tell me that the website is built in Ruby on Rails. Do you guys realize this is not good for marketing the product? Just thought of sharing my concern and also see if there is a plan to build it in Phoe…

It’s possible they are using github pages, based on this header: x-github-request-id.

Yep I am pretty sure they are GH pages, hence marked @frigidcode ’s post as the answer :023:

No problem, I thought I checked it by mistake, that’s why I removed it at first :slight_smile: Hehe! It’s back now.

IMHO there’s no point to build a static webpage using Phoenix or really any other web framework. A static site generator is good enough, also there ar…

A bit unrelated, but this reminds me of an old story from the late 80s:

Oh, this brings back memories. Like that the windows 95 booting sound was created by Brian Eno… on a Macintosh . :blush: But more to-the-point: [image] adrianrl: IMHO there’s no point to build a static webpage using Phoenix or really any other web framework. A static site generator is good eno…

Do you guys realize this is not good for marketing the product? Who cares? Phoenix is built for high-availability, dynamic websites. The Phoenix documentation site is static. Literally opposite concerns. Use the best tool for the job.

they do detect and show that its cowboy web framework and erlang programming language. At least for me I have seen that in an app I built plus other popular sites like unsplash [Screenshot%20from%202019-04-04%2012-32-45]
