It’s a treat to read such a well-written overview of #WebOrigami!
https://vale.rocks/posts/web-origami
I recall that @vale completely got the idea the first time he saw it, and he’s done great things with it ever since.
I think Origami’s the best way to make your site, but don’t just take my word for it — read Vale’s post!

Configuration-based site-making tools say: organize your content into folders, edit some config files, then run our tool to get a site.
But what if writing your site from scratch actually involves *less* code?
My 4th and final post in a series comparing a sample blog in #WebOrigami and #Eleventy: **Is code is more concise than configuration?** (Yes! Yes it is! Also easier to follow, more coherent, and more expressive.)

First post in a series comparing creating the same #blog in two different #ssg systems. The first diagram shows a large number of implicit connections between source files in the #Eleventy blog, the second shows that all connections in the Origami blog are explicit.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jimniels/116197448348633013
This is a nice use of #WebOrigami to liberate photos from #Instagram and create a personal #smallweb site!
I was so disappointed when IG deprecated their Basic Display API last year because we can't have nice things, but (for now) they still let users export their own data
Origami is great for this sort of fetch-and-transform task

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jimniels/116120996001714316
One of the very best things about developing #WebOrigami as a friendlier dialect of #JavaScript for sites is that, as long as the core language is well-designed, users aren’t confined to a limited, pre-imagined set of features — they can create all sorts of useful solutions for themselves.

The fixation at #GoogleIO last week on AI buried the much more interesting talk by @Una on The Latest in Web UI, which highlighted the ton of interesting features arriving in #HTML and #CSS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-6LgEjEyzE
I wish the other browser vendors didn't rely so heavily on Google to get the word out. They all do so much work to make these features possible, as do the standards committees, the #OpenUI group, and @igalia, and they all deserve to get more credit.

Each month this year I'm trying to post a sample website written in Origami, a declarative programming language at the level of #HTML and #CSS for defining websites.
This month's sample is Aventour Expeditions, a site for an outdoor travel company: https://aventour-expeditions.netlify.app
It's easy to have Origami call other template languages, so for this sample I used the #Handlebars template language to turn markup and data into HTML.
-
It's useful to be able to apply templates written in a language like #Handlebars to things in the shell.
The Origami #CLI lets you invoke JavaScript functions defined in .js files, but you can now also identify a handler for any file extension — like OS app file associations, but for a CLI. https://weborigami.org/language/filetypes.html#custom-file-types
So a handler can load a `.hbs` file as a function that applies a Handlebars template, then apply that in the command line.
