LOL! That's madness.

What was the book? A book about spreadsheets?

Or really, really, really bored. Or Tex! Calling Tex2002ans....
It's happening! It's happening!

It's called "Static Site Generators", like Hugo:

https://gohugo.io/

I'll most likely be doing my blog in Markdown, then having Hugo generate all the fancy HTML+CSS+linkages for me.

I got sick and tired of Javascript and all this constant "User-Hostile" nonsense infecting the web.

Now I'll have:
  • Static site?
  • Everything in plaintext?
  • Full control of the source files?
  • Automatically follows your folder/filenaming structure?
  • Toss it in your own version control?

Sign me up!

(Grumble grumble, I need to prioritize this research over all my other stuff. Less timewasting on MobileRead/Reddit, more time on programming/researching productivity tools! I've been working on LOTS of interesting projects these past 12 months.)
