Static site generators are probably (one of) the best thing(s) in HTML since HTML was invented.

Blog: Pelican Static Site Generator

Ich betreibe ein paar Blogs mit Wordpress und ehrlich gesagt machte mir das schon von Anfang an Bauchschmerzen. Für jeden Fizelkram müssen Plugins installiert werden, sodass das System immer dicker und anfälliger wird. Nur für ein bisschen Text, Bilder und Audio.

Ich überlege jetzt auf Pelican – A Python Static Site Generator umzusteigen. Für die Podcasts wird es eine Umstellung bedeuten, aber ich hoffe dass der Wordpress Import gut funktioniert und die Aussicht, dass ich zukünftig alles nur noch per Markdown und Plaintext Files machen kann, ist Motivation genug.

Und für Pelican gibt es sogar eine Erweiterung die Beiträge automatisch ins Fediverse postet. Hoffentlich nicht wie das Worpress Plugin den gesamten Beitrag, sondern einfach nur als Hinweis Post.

I just realized why I like Static Site Generators so much.

I'm able to publish the web without using a web browser.

That's kind of like being able to be a proctologist and helping people, but without actually ever having to see a butt.

New post: The Markdown Link no. 14

‘It’s a new dawn (DST), it’s a new day’ and there’s a new links post up for today’s links, which are markdown editors Sidenotes, Grape and CollabMD, a wiki tool called Otterwiki – you have got to love the choice of name – and BlogMore, a static site generator developed entirely in Copilot.

On the face of it I *really* prefer Astro's focus on strong typing through TypeScript and a lot of reasonable defaults. It makes for a great developer experience.

But between being bought by CloudFlare, people assosciated with the seeming to have problematic views (though this is not uncommon) and apparently using LLMs for the project I've become skeptical of the project and it's quality.

This is making me seriously consider Build Awesome (nee 11ty/Eleventy) for my static site generator needs. It seems like you have to do *quite* a bit of configuration to get it to work as well as Astro does by default.

On the other hand, maybe more explicit configuration is a good thing? Astro is very implicit.
