makesite

You referring to this? https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite I have ported this to go for myself. Works really well for my use.

Thank you for sharing the link to the source code. My simple site generator is based on my wife's project makesite.py[1]. In fact, I used her site generator for a few years. Later I reimplemented makesite.py in Common Lisp. As a result, it inherits the design, layout, minimalism, and simplicity of makesite.py. [1] https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite/

> But don't let this convince you that all static site generators must be complex. Indeed! For example, https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite is a simple and lightweight static site generator written in Python. It can be customized easily by modifying the Python source code and adapting it to one's needs. I like that when I need a new feature, I can add it quite easily by writing a few Python functions. It is meant to be programmer-friendly. Disclosure: My wife wrote this project. I am just a happy user of the project.

I've been using makesite.py, which is ~200 lines of python, dumping the picture in a pics folder and then hand editing the markdown. Maybe a few lines of code and template work would let you add a custom template that would automatically add a folder worth of images. https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite

For my personal website/blog, I use the beautifully simple static site generator makesite.py.[1] For the other sites I've made, I've used WordPress or plain old no fuss static html/js/css. [1] https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite

I wonder if you could save some time with some caching? Find all posts related to "django", select the top 3, pin them as the related posts for all django entries? You'd trade out some uniqueness and slightly increased memory usage to gain speed. (I just got started blogging and found https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite python static site generator worked well for me. Obviously you're probably a bit far in to switch horses by now.)

> I'm probably the last person on earth to do so, but I write my posts in raw HTML. Although I don't use Blogger/Blogspot anymore and I render my blog using a static site generator [1], I too write my posts in raw HTML [2]. In the past, the differences in how various tools interpret and render some of the corner case scenarios like nested lists, code blocks or blockquotes nested within lists, etc. caused issues in porting my Markdown files from one system to another. Granted, there is CommonMark now and I think it is a pretty good specification but it is not a standard like HTML5 is. I prefer standards, so that I know with a reasonable degree of confidence that what I write now would look the same 10 years from now.

I don't use Makesite.py but if you see the network graph [1], obviously there is an audience for this kind of tool. I see many more results of people using and modifying makesite.py here [2]. I think the appeal of a tool like Makesite.py is that you can make it what you want [3]. It is about a 100 lines of code and written very neatly. Instead of wading through documentation and configuration to figure how to get Jekyll or Pelican running, you can make your own Jekyll or Pelican. I can see why many individualist programmers would like such a thing.
