Yep, it's just that so far a lot of those tools and solutions that hit HN are github centric and I don't see why it can't be a bit more generic.

Of course the end-result is easy to move out but the build pipeline is more dependent on GH.

Not that it matters but it could be cool too to pipe SSG's output through a managed VPS just to show you don't need Github to host your static files.
