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.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.
