Looking at Marmite as a static site generator, and being dismayed that it's shockingly easy to get it installed, set it up, and learn how to use it, because now I have to actually do the work of creating the content. Why didn't somebody warn me?

    New site generator

    When Stefano (@stefano@bsd.cafe) announced his own static site generator, the BSSG, I couldn't let it pass and went to give it a try and start to plan my site's migration, from hugo to BSSG.

    First impressions: it's awesome! Simple but complete. It comes with all available themes in the package and it even comes with a tool to generate a page to sample all of them!

    What I like: it's not something new but I find the commands to create and edit content very useful. I'm used to open a vim session and work from there but the ability to enter ./bsgg.sh edit <filename> or ./bssg.sh post and it simply asks for the title and opens the default editor. Simple. And when you save and close your file, it rebuilds itself to update your content.

    What I want (not need): the admin interface. Not for me, since I was born in the command line, but for the common folk that I want to convert to the simple world of static sites.

    So far, it's one of the best tools that I came across :)

    OBS. One issue that I found is that when using pandoc to render the pages, the standard list format is not rendered in the HTML. It works with commonmark.

      Caching is now working, several fixes are in and you can now hide the header menu, the estimated reading time and other things.

          Do you like BSSG? Then "we need moooooar SSG"!

          Good Read is a twin project that uses the exact same posts and pages.
          Even better? It can render everything using BSSG themes!
          Just to be clear: it's not replacing BSSG. They will live side-by-side, even in their development.
          More dependencies, true, but far more speed. Because means staying lightning-fast even when you hit 5.000 posts.

          Current status: It hasn't been officially released yet, and I'm not sure when I'll get around to it, but it's already working great!

          I'll be launching a live site with it soon... maybe using it for MyNotes for a while - I can always switch from one to another without breaking anything.

          Stay tuned!

            I think I made a really nice setup for marrying technical documentation with academic citations in . It was as simple as writing a little script using a citation library (PybTeX) and then incorporating it into the build process.

            See it working at https://marsh-sim.github.io/bibliography/

            Because everything is written in regular files, the editor can autocomplete citation keys without any special tooling - they are just sections in another file. This kind of interoperability is why simple tools like text files and are so great.

            I'm not a fan of hosting it on GitHub anymore, but there are already links in various places that I can't update, so this is the reasonable thing to do.
