allisona 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)
wakest likes your bugs ⁂@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
Jonathan Hartley's old account@aparrish @liaizon I have a harebrained ongoing project weakly related to this, for the Linux desktop, in which double clicking on a markdown file opens it with a short Bash script, which generates a rendered HTML version, starts a background process to regenerate the HTML when the markdown changes, & opens the HTML in an existing lightweight viewer app, chosen for the nice property of auto-refreshing when the HTML updates. Upshot is a rendered view that updates when you edit the markdown.
@aparrish @liaizon I'm currently trying to generalize it, so that the same short Bash script could handle not just markdown, but also restructuredtext, or dot to SVG conversion. A two line config for each would suffice, telling it the command to use to do the conversion, and the command to start the viewer.
