An odd thing. There is no scale-modeling hobby associated with internet tech. You can build model trains and planes, baking soda volcanoes, and even model computers/networks as digital logic demo experiments. But there’s no such thing as a scale model of a webapp or toy blog

I think this happens a lot in software because equivalent of paper planes and airliners can look similar. It really would take only a weekend to create a “twitter paper plane.” Like a CRUD web app that adds posts to a stream. Even an “RC toy plane” that handles nontrivial load.

I think they’re just different apps not toys. I’ve given up on static sites for now because they actually seem harder than blogs for me. Never got past hello world in gatsby. You guys have been focused on speed at large scale, hardly a toy concern.

static sites in general are toy blogs as in they leave to the user most of the details that go into creating a blog (which is why you get stuck at hello world but are fine with WP). And programmers often rebuild their blog for fun in a new framework.
