Pushed a new look to my blog homepage!

It's not just a "generic" recent post list any more. :) And the top nav/title area is also more streamlined. Lots of little UI changes made in this revision. Excited to continue evolvoing it. Will be adding a changelog section soon...

Absolutely would love to hear if you've had a look and have any feedback! Thank you 🙏

I started writing up that "how to make a blog from 'scratch'" tutorial, and I'm wondering what good alternatives exist to Netlify's "drop your folder here" UX.

I really hated bringing CI into my own blog, and there's something lovely and almost tactile about just uploading your build dir somewhere manually.

I rsync my own blog somewhere, but for the tutorial I'm going as far as I can without introducing new software or cli tools -- no git, no cli, no installing things, it's all gonna be plain text and leveraging the browser's js engine for the first few iterations.

The Netlify free tier is pretty generous for static sites, though I'm sure it costs your soul or something -- back to original question: What similar things are out there that would be beginner friendly or have a similar drag/drop ux?

Are people even using something else than YAML front matter in their Markdown (or whatever) files?

Apparently there are SSGs that support HTML <meta> tag front matter, and if you're using ReStructured Text it probably does its own thing. And I bet there's at least one person on the planet building their website from ASN.1 files.

What are _you_ using?

Is anyone running their blog on a static or semi-static stack like Hugo, VitePress, etc.?

If so, is there an easy way to add an ActivityPub-based comment system, maybe some share buttons, and also republish content to the Fediverse? I'm not looking for ActivityPub-native blogging platforms, more interested in adding ActivityPub support in a mostly client-side way.

I think I shouldn't hide my poems anymore. I have farooqkz.com domain now. I think I will do a static website at poetry.farooqkz.com with hugo. Then with a custom theme and perhaps some Javascript, I will give each poem a hash and name the poem after the last 2-3 hexadecimal digits of the poem.

I wonder if I can do the hashnaming with hugo alone and without using JS. Also the website must have 3 languages. However all websites I've done with hugo till now are mono.

BTW, Do you think it should be "Programmer Poet" or "Poet Programmer"? For someone like me who generates both code and poems

Pessoal dos BLAMERS, que que cês recomendam de gerador de site estático? Eu preciso de algo que suporte formulas em LaTeX e que tenha mais cara de homepage do que de blog ou documentação.

Uso SPHINX para as páginas das Disciplinas e comecei a usar o Nikola para a homepage/blog, mas não animei tanto com ele. Se for feito em python, é um plus.

My little personal blog is currently hosted on a little raspberry pi. The contents live on GitHub, the deploy runs automatically on push, and I use Cloudflare Tunnels to auto host it.

It's been working great, but I woke up today feeling an incredible amount of 'ick'. I don't want to spend time thinking about security, but I do want to move.

I think maybe it's time to change to a more basic setup with a remote VPS that doesn't involve any tech giants.

Anybody have recommendations for their favorite cheap hosts?

Thoughts on CMS for my OER. After looking further at Dokuwiki, Ive decided it's too unmaintained, too many errors, conflicts and unpredictable shelf life. So these are my options. I could copy my existing Grav and reshape, copy an existing Jekyll site and reshape. Or, I could learn Hugo or Eleventy and do that. Vote if you have a preference.
