Anthropy

Added a Risotto recipe to my site: https://derg.nz/recipe/2026/04/08/risotto-what-if-you-could-have-rice-soak-up-all-the-soup/

I still really like how much easier Hyditor makes it to post things on my Jekyll blog, it works really well.

You can see the code for Hyditor here, you should be able to run it yourself, it has a helpful setup CLI: https://git.dragonhive.net/DragonHive/Hyditor

just to be transparent though, some LLMs were used in the making of this product. I'm sorry if that bothers you. I like to think the code is solid, and bug reports are welcome all the same!

@anthropy I've been considering other blogging and website platforms, how are you liking Jekyll compared to CMS like self hosted WordPress?

@circuitsunfish I like that there are zero moving parts in a Jekyll website, when you browse it it's basically entirely static, which makes it blazingly fast and very secure.

Me adding this WYSIWYG backend to it is kind of ironic in that sense, so I've tried to harden it as much as possible and not add any moving parts to the actual frontend itself.

The static nature does mean you miss some advanced features of Wordpress etc sometimes, but for me this is more a feature than an issue so YMMV ^^

@anthropy it's a shame the relative % of your posts characters had to be devoted to the AI disclaimer rather than your project. /neu

the pictures help and a quick browse of your git shows a few advantages but what's your elevator pitch for Hydritor, if you don't mind sharing? Suppose I am a technically competent interested user who isn't knowledgeable about many CMS products, what might I have to gain using yours than another?

@cosmiccreature honestly I find it hard to hit the right balance because I do want to be honest and it feels like many people are still upset about it, idk how to make it shorter in that sense.

as for the elevator pitch; It turns Jekyll into a CMS; you still get to have everything Jekyll has including its static secure frontend, while having all the advantages of a convenient CMS when adding stuff. It supports importing of existing Jekyll sites and it's extremely flexible with theming.
