a few weeks ago I decided I wanted to be in charge of my own bookmarking infrastructure, so I exported my bookmarks from pinboard and spent the afternoon writing ~500 lines of python/html/css/bash to make a lil bespoke database manager/static site generator. pleased with the results: https://bookmarks.decontextualize.com/ (there's no link to the feed on the page, but it does support RSS! check the metadata)

Stuff I found on the Internet

@aparrish this looks great, damn I really sorta want to do this too
@liaizon the "CMS" for my personal website is just... pandoc converts markdown to html and then there's a bash script to scp the relevant files to my static host. clean, simple, open, sustainable
@aparrish I keep recommending pandoc to other people but haven't ever actually used it myself. Been taking all my notes in md via obsidian lately and really need to work on a pipeline to make stuff into a nice static site
@liaizon my blog (https://posts.decontextualize.com/) is also a little home-grown static site generator that does exactly this (except I use zettlr instead of obsidian). the actual process of converting markdown to html with pandoc is pretty easy imo—it's the process of making index pages etc. that is more difficult
