  1. I've been trying out @publii and quite like it, but unfortunately it seems like it's not for me...

    Now I found jamstack.org/generators/, a list of website generators filterable by language and license!

  2. @riverpunk Netlify used to make it easy to deploy static sites, but it seems they've pivoted from that?

    I think hosting alone is worth asking fedi about. #hosting #StaticWebsites maybe?

  3. There are some new members to the #StaticQuest

    Thanks @irgndsondepp and @jbcarreon123
    for joining. It's great seeing this many people creating awesome things with static sites.

  4. @alex on basic techniques for building ad-hoc tiny archives as #staticwebsites -- betting on the longevity and backwards compatibility of HTML and JavaScript.

  5. Does anyone have a good example of an ad, webpage, video or other marketing material that does a good job of both *educating* and selling? Ideally about a technical thing?

    That’s generally what every pitch I send needs to do, and I’m having a hard time educating briefly enough that it "clicks” for people.

    I'm a #freelance web developer mostly pitching static websites over WordPress / Squarespace.

  6. Bon j'en ai marre d'Hugo !

    J'ai envie d'un générateur de site statique que je comprenne un minimum (voir pourquoi pas auquel je puisse contribuer). Après avoir étudié la question et espionné les conversations de @progi1984 et @arnaud Cecil semble une bonne option avec ses templates #twig ...

    Je me lance donc là-dessus !
    (bon pour l'instant je galère à lui faire accepter Tailwind)

  7. New blog post:
    "If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown"

    In one of Stanisław Lem's stories, "The Memoirs Found in a Bathtub," all written materials are into dust. While this is science fiction, something similar happens in our digital world.

  8. So, jetzt ist es passiert… der 1. Tag eines neuen Monats ist ein guter Launch Tag. Ich habe mein kleines #hugo basiertes #Blog an den Start gebracht und mit ein paar ersten Inhalten versehen. Ihr findet es unter: today-i-learned.de.

    Habt ein wenig Geduld, ich schreibe schon an weiteren Beiträgen, die kommen dann bald. 😇

  9. Does anyone know if I can turn off backtracking for #PageFind search? Currently it returns results for '19' when searching for '1960' which is not helpful. I want zero results if the term is not found.
    I've tried setting language unknown but it didn't seem to help (even with word searches).

  10. I've rebuilt my blog using 11ty!

    I'd been using Jekyll with Github Pages previously and it was becoming clear that it was time to move on. My realization came when I recently upgraded my home machine and had to install backports on Debian to obtain a load of outdated software and dependencies just to recreate the local build flow.

    Also, I never got ruby. 11ty has shown more flexibility around markdown's hybrid forms and I'm familiar with npm and node to a limited extent.

    The migration was challenging. I wrote up a python script to translate image and frontmatter markdown syntax into nunjucks to migrate my old posts to the new theme I'm using. Who knew #python regex sub could accept the regex object's groups? Now this guy knows. :blobcatmeltthumbsup:

    Jekyll was good to me but all things must change.

    Built with the 11ty-wisp theme by @adjb.

    And of course thanks to @zachleat and @eleventy.

  11. Wrote a post about my Emacs plugin, which helps to write posts for static blog right with #OrgMode
    No more Markdown, web WYSIWYG editors and other stuff to compose blogposts — just one #Emacs to publish them all!

  12. Should one use to generate a website on for uploading to a ? Or are there other alternatives? What do you use? I am not an total novice but like an easy life not chasing missing brackets deep into the night

  13. I released reactions for my blog exactly 24 hours ago. But it didn't had any check if the visitor had made an reaction or not. Now it does!

    And the best part is that the feature do not use any JavaScript. In fact, as of today, airikr.me do not use any JS what so ever!

    Go to any blog post on my website to check it out 🙂 Example post: airikr.me/blog/202406041253?la

    #StaticWebsites generators are the new black. Your language is not stylish if it hasn't one 🤪

  15. New post . . .

  16. THe best thing with having a stativ website is that you don't need to export the database and import it locally. Just sync the files and you're done!

  17. Quick post about serving a static site over TOR and clear net at the same time (spoiler: uses two copies of the site - which is fine considering the tiny footprint of the site itself).

  18. We're back to my recurring nightmare of making it easy for a non-technical client to edit a static website generated using #Hugo.

    Are there any good solutions? Or am I going to end up writing my own solution after many painful hours with other people's janky solutions?

    If you know of a non-technical user successfully editing a static website, how are they doing it?

    EDIT: I'll only use open source solutions I can self-host, but happy to hear about proprietary options.
