  2. @raphv @slothrop sort of yes, sort of no. There are lots of good tools for editing Markdown, and lots of good tools for assembling collections of Markdown files into pleasing and easy to navigate websites. Unfortunately, there are not many integrated solutions that put all the bits together, at least that I'm aware of.

    I keep meaning to write a point-and-click front end for #Cryogen, which is my preferred solution, but I haven't got a round tuit yet.

  3. @pthane I use #Cryogen for all my essentially static sites. It's simple and (fairly) elegant and suits me, but you need to be tolerant of a command line, and there are, as I say, literally hundreds of alternatives.

  4. @seancorfield @tgeusch @Nundrum I also use #Cryogen for my own blog and for other websites I currently support; I've contributed some code back to the project and I will contribute more. As a simple way of generating lightweight websites it's a real winner.

    Thanks, @yogthos!

  5. @adrinux sure. I'm someone who knows what I'm doing. But I'm going to need to support two separate groups of non-technical people to run websites, and I want to set them up once and then have the respective groups be able to keep them running without too much hand holding.

    I use a heavily hacked version of #Cryogen to run the static sites I'm responsible for, but that is not suitable for non technical users!

  6. I'm looking for an #OpenSource static site generator for non-technical users. Ideally what I want is something with a control panel which can be driven with a mouse, which has controls for add new page, edit page, delete page, serve site locally, push site to server.

    Needs to work on Windows and Mac. #Linux would be nice, but Linux folk can mostly cope with command lines.

    If I can't find one I'll write a WIMP control panel to wrap around #Cryogen.

    Any suggestions?

    Please boost!

  7. @screwtape Other. Write on #Cryogen, @yogthos' excellent #Clojure static site generator/blogging engine.

    It is a bit geeky -- you have to be comfortable with a command line. I keep thinking about writing a little GUI launcher for it to make it easier for my less geeky friends, but I haven't got round to that yet.

  8. @dangoodin good blogging frameworks should produce RSS feeds automatically. #Cryogen does – here's mine:

  9. The #Cryogen static website builder, which I like and use, requires embedded EDN-formatted metadata at the start of Markdown files. Standard WYSIWYG Markdown editors don't understand this.

    I want to get a group of non-geeks comfortable with using Cryogen.

    So, I thought, how hard could it be to clone an existing open source Markdown editor, add a metadata tab, and create a simple forms-based editor for EDN?

    Welcome to the murky world of #JavaScript...

  10. @mykhaylo I'd be interested to know your solution. My blog is currently build from Markdown using @yogthos' #Cryogen, and I have been thinking about automating it; but currently I'm too lazy to actually do it.

  11. New blog post - I redesigned my blog and created a #cryogen theme in the process. The post is about static sites and "nonfeatures" in web design.
    Feel free to give feedback about the looks of the site! It's the first proper website that I've put some effort in.

  12. @ajsadauskas What does/should an #ActivityPub plugin to a blogging engine do? Presumably publish an Activity when a new post is published?

    Writing one for #Cryogen would be a good wee exercise.
