I don't think my coworkers are as impressed as they should be that I built a search interface into our #StaticSiteGenerator.

I forgot! Here's a little change of my script that launch your browser after starting Jekyll 🏔️👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/jekyll-plus-browser 🧪

And, I also want to share you another one thing. But I will do this on my Devlog 📝 on my website soon 👉 https://xolat.games/devlogs/ 😉

I'm testing the new BSSG test build. I've been working on it for a while to refactor the build process and move it entirely to RAM (optionally, for now).
On my OpenBSD Amsterdam VPS (single core, spinning drives), build times are cut down to less than a third of the last release, and on other devices it takes about half the time, with zero I/O.

The current caching system isn't exactly rock-solid, and personally, I prefer a faster full build over maintaining all that complexity.

I'll probably upload everything as soon as I've ironed out a couple of bugs, in the coming days.

Inspired by the Now page concept created by @sivers, I've finally published /now on my #PersonalWebsite! https://bm.gy/now

Had to tweak my #StaticSiteGenerator just a bit to accommodate this unique new post type: The latest post will always be displayed in full at /now, with past entries eventually appearing as a simple list right below it.

That was a fun technical exercise as well as a nice excuse to reflect. Highly recommended!

Found your site today. The getting started guide for Hugo was very helpful! Thank you!

Would you recommend Eleventy or Hugo for my use case?

My local non-profit has a Wix site. It's costing us more than we'd like to pay, considering we're just using it for a static site.

I'm planning to set up a CMS for content contributors to use. No need for them to code.

Three personas I'm planning for:

1) Content contributors

2) Designers - Must know how to write HTML and CSS, and how to use Git to merge in changes to the site's design.

3) Admin (me) - Must know how to keep all of this running.

For content contributors and the admin, I don't think Eleventy vs. Hugo matters. But, maybe for designers. Maybe one makes it easier than the other to form a directory structure for the content and make templates that render it nicely.

I plan to have 2+ content types right from the beginning. I'm thinking of blog posts and a gallery of photo albums right now.

I wish I knew about this when I was giving my #PocketPortal workshops: WobbleWeb / wwwobble, an open-source drag-and-drop visual site editor by @ojack.

You can also export the static site to host it on Codeberg or the host of your choice.

I like a lot about are.na and I hate a lot about are.na. So I did what I always do in such cases, and wrote a mediocre bash script that lets me publish my exported are.na collections as webpages.

Meet crumble.sh [1] which is a sister script of pancake.sh [2], where I do the same, but with markdown files. Pretty happy how everything turned out so far and I guess I will return to it with some styling and fixes after a while.

Have a go at my ffffinds [3] or this awesome collection with gifs of obsolete media in animes [4].

The modern web sucks. My band's website doesn't.

My band has a website. I made it using 1990s technology. And 2K20s technology. And I think it’s pretty nice.

In today’s episode, I’ll cover the Eleventy static site generator, and how I adapted a design made on vintage hardware (using AOLPress on Windows 95!) to a modern workflow.
