currently refactoring mine to fit! it's funny because i had gone through several frameworks to make my stuff, realized it was creating bloat so i made my own static site generator and learned so much. i think everyone should try to learn about how to make software more accessible, you pick up so much understanding about how things work.

!!! I did this too! It was pretty educational and fun. What is your software stack? I'm just using Apache + Nginx to host the site, and Bash + Python + Pandoc to generate the site from markdown. In retrospect, markdown doesn't save that much time over raw HTML so I think I'd just use that in the future.

stack:

  • Ngnix on a Raspberry Pi
  • Deno and Bash to generate static pages

it's funny, i found the same to be true about markdown so now i basically just write HTML and serve that plus some metadata into .ejs templates. for certain use cases markdown is really clutch (i like to collect quotes and words each month) but for most other things it's just not worth the fuss. with vscode i can use the liveserver extension to do live reloading but i kinda wanna keep adding some more functionality to the project.
