god dammit. anyone have good #zola alternatives? I just saw the .claude folder... I can probably just pin to a version before the slop, though.
@addison, what features do you need?
@[email protected] Mostly just the templating and RSS generation, without the insanity of the Hugo language. For now, just pinning to old Zola is still okay.

@addison @cnx Pelican worked fine for me in the past. Its jinja-based templating system was straightforward to me, and of course it does RSS feeds out of the box.

But if your needs are just templating and RSS, have you considered writing your own SSG in whatever programming language you’re comfortable with that has a decent markdown/djot library? It’s 10x simpler and rewarding IMHO.

@rfgee, thanks for introducing me to djot, the :symbol:{foo=bar} extension mechanism is truly delightful! I'm writing my own SSG right now with it. BTW the Lua reference implementation shall stay slop free until jgm decides to revisit it, so hopefully never. Cc: @addison
