two years ago i finally lost my mind dealing with wordpress and markdown for clients.
it forced me to write an entire website construction kit in php from scratch (kiki). it forced me to learn how to write a customizable markup language (bug). all so i would never have to touch wordpress and markdown ever again.
two years later, there are now dozens of kiki instances run by sysop-admins around the world. it's incredibly gratifying to see the web made less shitty by just elbow grease and diy learning. the instance admins are a blend of writers and coders who painstakingly find bugs, dig into the source, and inspectorgadget workarounds. improving it and patching it is a lifelong commitment, even if it doesn't pay the bills.
in the coming week is a feature that 0.01% of users will take advantage of, but i'm so happy to add it, to keep the dream of an indie web alive: kiki will now generate RSS 2.0 compliant podcast feeds. i thought regular old web RSS was bad. but RSS for podcasts is about 10x worse 😅
the attached screenshot is a new site i'm building with kiki 1.2.0, which autogenerated a podcast feed using metadata in each post.
this morning i'm updating a client's wordpress site, and for all my moaning about how bad RSS is, i can't believe how much worse wordpress is. 😆

gagh! a new update for kiki instance sysops: i managed to bork rss feed generation in the last patch. v1.1.9 (available at https://tomotama.itch.io/kiki) adds one line of code that restores rss generation
building a dynamic web site generation construction kit: 1000 hours.
patching rss, because rss: the rest of your life 😭

woooo time for a kiki update. this one is a bugfix release that corrects two super annoying problems with RSS feed generation.
while we all love RSS, it has to be one of the most finicky protocols to actually write code for 😅. every client seems to have its own quirks. so here's my attempt at keeping the protocol alive and happy:
- RSS feeds now show the correct pubdate time because it now takes timezone into consideration, and then converts your timezone to GMT.
- under very weird and unknown conditions, incorrect rss URLs were being generated. While I couldn't reproduce the exact cause (I suspect it was due to robots scraping kiki instances and the PHP server not generating browser variables for them), I was able to eliminate the bug with a small change to how URLs are generated.
thank you to kiki oper @kickingk for catching both of these bugs.
and if you're new to kiki, this is your invitation to join the kiki club!
there is a free shareware version here for those who want to get their toes wet with building their own little blog, and a paid registered version for folks who want to dive straight in :D

@kickingk perfect, thanks! just confirmed the bug on my end, and i have a fix for it. it was a VERY sneaky bug introduced when we figured out the problem with RSS requiring the GMT time zone. basically: php's date() does not support timezones, so i had to replace it with DateTime()
i'll hold off posting a new update on itch until we can confirm if the weird rss link behaviour has been fixed too.
if you don't want to wait you can your library/utils.php create_timestamp() manually with:
// returns a datetime set at a specified time in H:i:s T format
// clocktime must be supplied in 24-hour HH:mm:ss format
// date must be in Y-m-d format
// optional: the datetime format
function create_timestamp($date, $time, $format = "Y-m-d H:i:s", $useGMT = false)
{
global $timezone;// when date/time are not supplied, use current day/time
if (!$date)
$date = date("Y-m-d");
if (!$time)
$time = date("H:i:s");if ($useGMT)
$dateTime = new DateTime($date . $time, new DateTimeZone('GMT'));
else
$dateTime = new DateTime($date . $time, new DateTimeZone($timezone));
return $dateTime->format($format);
} -
@kickingk okay i *think* i might have figured out what's causing the bizarre url bug. the problem is that i can't replicate the bug (on your site, or on any of mine), so i can't test whether this fixes the bug either.
would you be willing to make a change to one of your files to test the fix out?
in library/utils.php:
in get_site_basename(), replace:
return $url_protocol . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];with:
return $url_protocol . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; -
You know Bouba and Kiki†?
Well, it turns out that @gemsmoke didn't.
So I asked them to, with no information beyond their names, draw Kiki and Bouba.The original test involved identifying them from images without labels, making @gemsmoke's result bear even more weight.
Here's what they drew.
The effect holds.
If you aren't aware of Bouba and Kiki yourself, take a minute to imagine or even sketch each character.
I've hidden the reveals, which includes the originals as well as @gemsmoke's cartoons.

@brennan thanks! :D
it's been really encouraging seeing developers who normally don't work with anything beyond CSS/HTML dig into PHP and learn how to modify the heck out of their sites.i never see a ton of homepage pride from most ssg projects. but kiki admins are *really* proud of their personalized sites :)
-
@brennan thanks for the writeup. i can't pretend to understand all of the subtleties, but it was helpful understanding why people preferred 11ty to other ssg's.
the part that 11ty and the rest, imo, haven't solved are the source trees. they're *massive*. big, complex and difficult to understand projects.
the dependency and complexity angles are exactly why i built kiki - i wanted a generator that could generate *both* static sites and dynamic sites, without being a massive database-driven cms.
http://tomotama.com/kikiand all done in under 100kb of code that's 50% comments. i wish developers pushed for simplicity instead of trying to build tools that are everything for everyone.

i've been doing web programming for over 30 years and this is a wild one.
big thanks to @kickingk for doing all of the research to figure out this problem. i absolutely would have not figured it out myself.
kiki had a problem where it was generating correct rss feeds for everyone in north america, and everyone outside of north america had non-compliant rss feeds. the exact same code on every machine, but *only* the machines in geographical europe barfed out broken rss output. rss feeds were 100% valid in north america, and borked elsewhere. what the hell?
the rss errors in europe:
pubDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 08:00:00 BSTvalid rss date in north america:
Mon, 16 Feb 2026 11:00:00 MSTthat looks like a perfectly cromulent rss pubdate to me. it satisfies every single date formatting requirement that i could find, and uses PHP's own datetime() function to generate it.
as it turns out, the rss 2.0 spec relies upon an RFC specification from the 1977 ARPANET: "RFC822: Standard for ARPA Internet Text Messages"
yes. i just had to write a patch for a 50 year old RFC ..... "feature".
if you're a kiki instance sysop, you can update your instance by downloading v1.1.7. and if you're wondering what kiki is - you can find out here:
https://tomotama.itch.io/kikidanny van kooten does a great job of explaining what the underlying problem with RSS/RFC822 is here:

a late gift to kiki homepage construction set instance operators to close out 2025: some very necessary bug fixes! :D
I noticed that pages were accidentally being reverse-sorted based on their publication date.
also caught some weirdness with Bug (kiki's teeny tiny not-markdown markup language) when it came to opening/closing paragraphs - that is now fixed.
and finally, the $$time$$ dynamic content variable now auto-generates the page time based on the file's last-modified time on your server.
enjoy kiki ops! and thank you for a wonderful year responding to your ideas, feature requests and bug traps. 🙏 it warms my heart knowing that there are a bunch of people out there running their own little instances on the worldwideweb.

kiki does this every time the floors get mopped

happy to report that kiki just received a patch for a nasty rss bug that @kickingk caught a few days ago. thank you!
in short: page/post publication dates were being ignored by the rss parser, and every post was given a publication time of Wed, 31 Dec 1969 04:00:00 (the beginning of the unix epoch) 😅
if your kiki instance's rss feeds weren't being updated properly in rss clients, this is why 😬
