I'm determined to set up my blog this weekend. So, in preparation, can you lovely people remind me which static site generators you use and why you like them?
I really need something that I don't have to think about too much. Set it up, pick a theme, start writing.
Extra points if it does #AsciiDoc.
I know that some of you have answered this for me in the past, but trying to search through my past mentions could take some time...
So far I found ASCIIDoc parsers:
- asciidoctor (ruby, the current reference implementation)
- asciidoc3 (Python3, like the first Python2 implementation but up to date and passing same tests as asciidoctor apparently)
- a preliminary Haskell thing
- asciidoc.js, the ruby asciidoctor transpiled to a 11 MB JavaScript file
- a native go port of asciidoctor (seems interesting)

Speaking of #MarxDawn I know there are extensions to read #ASCIIDoc in a browser ( such as https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-browser-extension ) but has nobody ever written a native lightweight ASCIIDoc Browser?
I find editors that export to many formats and preview but not just a simple viewer that follows link like a minimalistic browser.
So you just serve content as .adoc files via http etc.
@ellane Congrats on the new grandchild!
Yeah, there’s nothing special about #markdown as a #plaintext markup language, and it may even be technically inferior in some ways to #orgmode and #asciidoc…
Except that “everyone” uses markdown and there are many, *many* more tools that support it. And those are huge advantages for anyone who cares about interoperability and avoiding dependence on specific software.
Those of you who like #vim and #neovim there two stellar #wiki solutions for it:
1. Vimwiki, which is reasonably well known and works with Markdown syntax: https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki
2. The less well-known vvwiki which is #asciidoc based: https://ratfactor.com/repos/vviki/
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
