Show HN: Using Google AMP to build a Medium-style Jekyll site that loads in 65ms
Is there a reason you can't just build the site properly in the first place to load fast? AMP is an unnecessary step in doing so. It's nothing special. All AMP is, is a decided-upon set of restrictions for what you can do on a page. If you follow those same restrictions with normal HTML/CSS you can achieve the same results.<p>I've never understood the use of AMP, just build your normal site properly in the first place and then you won't need it. It's almost like training-wheels for learning efficiency/optimization.
