Looking for a #FOSS platform to publish simple static sites, landing pages or documentation pages. E.g. for campaigns, projects, actions. Often just text and simple graphics. Big plus if there's a hosting service (we can pay for it) and it's helpful if you can use your own domain. I have very limited technical abilities, ie. not a nerd or programmer. For reference, looking for something like this that would be easy to configure WYSIWYG-style https://genopretkbh.dukop.dk/ #feditips #staticsites

If you've ever wanted to know more about static site generators and GitHub pages, then have a look at my article in this month's Linux Format.

Took me a few late evenings, but now KitchenSink supports hashtags.

They act like topics but are declared implicitly instead of a specific JSON section (also they take a bit less visual space):

- become clickable links
- collected in the AST/summaries
- appear in the site graph to connect articles
- each tag has an Atom feed

Will be pretty useful in my day-to-day note-taking at work where I keep personal notes in KS.

I think I'm roughly done documenting current KitchenSink (my take on static-but-not-only-site generators).

https://kitchensink-tech.github.io/ so at least this is done and I can think about my own blog and new features.

#haskell #blog #staticsites

One of my #staticSites is taking a long time to build, but actually I think it's partly due to #Flickr rate-limiting it (it hits their API for photo metadata). I really should just add a 'cache forever' option, because mostly the metadata doesn't change. (Although I do like the fact that the rebuild process also serves as a way to check that all assets – on Flickr, #Commons, and the #InternetArchive – are still available.)

Finally got around to writing about migrating my old blog from an EOL CMS to @eleventy.

There’s a little Python script to help anyone else do the same, if that’s something you need.

Next new blog from me starts documenting my experiences migrating my ageing #jekyll website to… Well you'll have to read to find out what I was looking for and what decisions I ended up making!

(Frontend) developers, which static site generators do you remember for bringing a significant innovation to the class of tool? What was the innovation, and why did you find it significant?

Spent the day researching and testing decent solutions for static blogs for my daughter and me with a simple self-hosted CMS I can plug into the static sites. It's a good job I'm not a Web developer as I'd have gone on a rather large killing spree if I had to interact with any of these companies for more than a few hours.

If anyone had any pointers to self-hosted solutions please help!

> But #JavaScript-dependent #ClientSideSearch on #StaticSites still seems lacking vs. #ServerSide #Search

Why do you think so? I use https://lunrjs.com/ for my searching my static site and it works fine for me.

Funny circle:

Begin #blogging w/ #database-backed #CMS like #WordPress

Have epiphany that #blogs can be generated w/ #StaticSiteGenerator like #Zola (#Rust) / #Hugo / #Slick (#Haskell)

Realize repetitive data like #tags & hierarchical data like #categories lend selves to #rdbms

Try to find ways to improve on #SSG that can use #SQLite (for #taxonomies, posts or both) e.g. #Django-Distill

But #JavaScript-dependent #ClientSideSearch on #StaticSites still seems lacking vs. #ServerSide #Search

Kitchen-Sink now has support for:
- raw `json`, `csv`, and `dhall` files that get copied straight to the /raw directory
- archived articles, which are still up with a small warning and don't show up in all listings (like upcoming articles)

#opensource #indieweb #staticsites

KitchenSink now has minimal support for glossaries. I'll likely iterate on that. Two things I want to do:
- in dev-mode only: show a graph of appearance of glossary items (making sure things are defined in order)
- in general: handle glossary terms a bit like topics (i.e., displayed in the map and acting as article indexes)
- potentially: modifying articles (statically or with some JS support) to have inlined definitions/links

Testing how Mastodon handles previewing some metadata:

I'm not sure if this is convention, but I'm choosing to build lots of shortcodes in Zola for reusable chunks of content, so markdown authors can do the following:

```
{{ intro(body="...") }}
```

I'm really enjoying https://lib-static.github.io — it's an approach that seems to bring a sense of calm to web development. I use similar ideas in sites such as https://hmwilson.archives.org.au where all I really want to be able to do is get stuff online (organised and linked) and then rarely have to ever think about it again (or at least not be forced to because MySQL has run out of memory again or whatever). #JamStack #StaticSites #PreservationReady

Has anyone used GitHub pages and some static site generator to host a podcast with minimal manual work? #Podcasting #staticsites

Dans les approches alternatives à Meilisearch / Algolia / ElasticSearch , j'avais deux projets dans mes signets :

I finally created my personal website: #emacs #orgmode > #oxhugo > #hugo #staticsites > #cicd on pages.sr.ht using custom domain (still building locally until I hack together an elisp publish script to create the build environment).

If anyone has any suggestions or feedback, I would very much appreciate learning new/better approaches. Repo @ https://git.sr.ht/~shom/shom.dev

I wrote a new blog post about publishing a static website to the dat:// network. 🚀
