New technical article: Mastodon Thread on a Static Website

#staticsite

Hey folks! I finally ported all my old notes/blogposts/literary pieces to my new website!

https://innocentzero.is-a.dev

Things might be a bit borked in a few cases, content wise or otherwise, so please do let me know!

Also, every page is JS-free and the CSS is hand-crafted, template taken from pandoc's default.

Only the index page uses JS as ~~stolen~~ inspired from jwz.org. If some CSS expert can help me fix it, would be really glad!

Also, subscribe to the RSS feeds! And reach out for 88x31 button exchange!

The protocol is simple and independent of the Web Origami project.
Everyone benefits from an open web!

Honestly, SSGs are good, but they're way too "web developer" oriented and no-one besides I guess Publii is working to make it fully accessible to people who don't want to learn web dev. And Publii hasn't exactly taken off atm.

Also migrated to Quartz for my site! It's basically a "digital garden" oriented site thing. It has first-class support for Obsidian, which I'm writing about here.

Over the past 6–10 months or so (it’s hard to tell exactly), I got inspired by @veronica and built a static site using @11ty. Since I’m not a native speaker of web development, it was an uphill battle at times, but it was so rewarding in the end. I did need to make use of a community template as a framework, and I settled on Brewventy by @cyberseckyle. I am thankful to be able to stand on the shoulders of these giants. And, as is customary for a new blog owner, I had to write a blog post about it!

P.S. I’m still new to this “social media” thing, so I don’t know if it’s cool to @ random people on the internet (sorry).

New #blog post https://christoff.re/migrating-away-from-wordpress-for-website-cms/

With all the "AI" slop being forced in WordPress 7.0+ and because I've simply been procrastinating do it: I'm migrating off #WordPress for the website CMS. I generate a static site anyway, so won't have much impact to anyone other than blog posts are now delayed until I make the switch.

It's been time for a while. The workflow is very suboptimal and been "temporary" for a long time.

Unsure of the #StaticSite solution, need to see what's out there.

Imagine my pride when the eldest of my two #children, aged 12, said she'd like to learn #HTML and #CSS and build her own #staticSite.

I briefly considered pointing her at e.g. #NekoWeb, but then realised: hey - I've got a #NAS and a full fibre connection: I could #selfhost something "like" the Nekode editor, right?

A couple of dozen lines of #Caddy and Docker configuration later, she had a working browser-based #VSCode with drag-drop file support that publishes directly to her domain. Super easy. Highly recommended.

Here's how I did it:
