Ask HN: Which tech stack for macOS-App landing page?

[Lausbert]

I want to release an macOS-App via my own website. I want a nice responsive website which shows some static content (Videos, Images, Text) about the app. Additionaly I want to have a download area, where you can find all released versions with changelogs. This download area should be automatically generated and updated, when I push a new version to my repository on Github. Changelogs should be generated based on squashed commit messages.

Which tech stack would you prefer? For example is WP extendable enough to achieve described goal? I also wanted to learn Typescript and react in the past, but this might be an overkill.

Background: iOS-Developer with currently no serious experience in web development.

shameless plug. I own sytescope.com which makes websites extremely easy. Only hard part you would need to figure out how to pull in the changlogs using the code block. It would be possible I just don't know if there is already a github script for it or not.

Static HTML. Update download area with a simple scp from your build script.

And while you’re at it, please include a version number in the DMG’s download URL if you don’t mind. That helps with integrity checks.

(Full disclosure: am Homebrew maintainer, who loves to add integrity checks to casks.)

This sounds promising. Do you have a favored hosting platform or static html generator?
