I’ve been running my blog on Pelican since 2019, when I was learning Python and writing about the journey.

Six years went by without a single post — but this week I migrated it to @astro with some help from Claude Code and gave it a more modern look.

Happy with how it turned out. Whether it’ll actually get me writing again, we’ll see.

@Wildvasa @astro when I made my initial jump to a static site generator I chose Nikoli, but have since looked fondly at Pelican and considered migrating there someday. Can I ask why you made the jump to Astro (oh perhaps you blog about it, I'll go look...)

@tartley @astro
Biggest reason was that during all those years, I forgot how Pelican works. So instead of re-learning it, I thought I could learn something new. I tried the migration a couple of years ago but didn’t get everything to work as I wanted, but with a little bit of help from Claude it went smooth ☺️

Also I have the impression that Astro can do more things if needed.
