>I find it ironic this website is written in Python. It's a single HTML page. Make it a static site and host it for free/low-cost on S3 or something. Why do you need to host this website on a server, use Docker, etc?

Originally it _was_ just HTML + CSS, but I wanted each library's repository metadata (latest version, last commit, etc) to be dynamically retrieved and doing that client-side was brittle and way too slow. So, I used it as an excuse to see how far I could push my own personal static-site framework (https://coltrane.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
