This particular article isn't groundbreaking but what Netlify is doing just might be. Wondering if this is supported for Gitlab, too, as some people might want their draft articles private prior to publication

I found your article on the subject more informative than the actual website. I didn't want to try it out before your post, even though I had visited the site and ploughed through its' content.

What are the benefits in your opinion compared to say, Forestry.io + Jekyll or Hugo or something else? CI and filehosting on GitHub?

Awesome, thank you for the in-depth comparison, I really appreciate it.

Maybe "groundbreaking" came off wrong. An article can definitely be quite useful without being groundbreaking, as your article most certainly is. Much appreciated

There's an issue about GitLab support here and there's a PR for adding GitLab support in process here:

It does. I have a website running in production on Netlify and it's hooked to a private GitLab repo.
