Description
Summary
Migrate the site from Netlify to Vercel, and drop the Jekyll dependency entirely in favor of a zero-build static deploy.
Context
The site is currently deployed via Netlify, which auto-detects Jekyll from the Gemfile and _config.yml, runs jekyll build, and serves _site/ from the main branch. There is no netlify.toml — everything is inferred.
However, Jekyll is only used to render supporters.md via _layouts/supporters.html. Everything else (index.html, 404.html, images) is already fully static. The deployment architecture check (.continue/checks/deployment-architecture.md) already anticipates this migration.
What needs to happen
- Pre-render
supporters.mdto static HTML (or convertsupporters.mdto a self-containedsupporters.html) - Remove Jekyll dependencies (
Gemfile,Gemfile.lock,_config.yml,_layouts/) - Connect the repo to Vercel with no build command — just serve the repo root as static files
- Point the
amplified.devcustom domain to Vercel - Verify all pages, social cards, and discoverability files (
llms.txt,robots.txt,sitemap.xml) work correctly - Update the deployment architecture check to reflect Vercel as the current host
- Update
README.mdto reference Vercel instead of Netlify and remove the Jekyll development instructions
Why
Vercel with zero-build static deploy is simpler, removes the Ruby/Jekyll dependency entirely, and aligns with the site's philosophy of resisting unnecessary complexity.

Research direction
Start with .continue/checks/deployment-architecture.md, the existing Jekyll files (Gemfile, Gemfile.lock, _config.yml, _layouts/), and README.md. Verify how supporters.md is rendered, then check the static pages and discoverability files listed in the issue. Done means the repository serves from Vercel without a build, the custom domain and pages work, and the documentation reflects the new deployment.
