Project mention: Tips from open-source: Set a maximum time limit on fetch using Promise.race() | dev.to | 2024-05-07// source: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/lib/worker.ts#L121C15-L129C16 for (;;) { onActivity() const result = await Promise.race(\[ (this.\_worker as any)\[method\](...args), restartPromise, \]) if (result !== RESTARTED) return result if (onRestart) onRestart(method, args, ++attempts) }
At one point though I realized there is a scaling problem with my build minutes. I knew that golang has considerably faster builds and in my case the easy fix is swapping over to Hugo.
The first time I started building static websites is when I discovered Gatsby. I built several projects using Gatsby and hosted it on Netlify free tier. It felt like a really robust architecture and I loved that it was free.
Today we are looking at Error Handling when building websites with Nuxt and Storyblok as CMS. If you haven't tried the two tools, go check out one of the awesome tutorials. It's a perfect match for all your projects.
This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.
We'll use several interesting technologies to achieve this: Strapi CMS to take care of the content management and backend, Astro which is a great new technology for quickly creating blazing fast frontend apps, and ChatGPT to provide the article summaries.
Project mention: Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-06A lot of great suggestions here and some stuff I’ve never heard of before!
Throwing my own suggestion into the ring, as I was just looking into this last week.
I started setting up a blog using Hexo. It’s another Node based SSG that uses markdown and supports tags. It has a lot of neat plugins that people have developed, too.
I like it so far!

Following one of the comments in this thread I reviewed two other products in this space - https://www.staticcms.org/ and https://decapcms.org/ - and it looks like the webpages are almost a direct copy of one another, one in dark mode and one in light mode.
I'm a technical product marketer, and I find these type of landing page copying amusing to no end.
This post outlines the steps for migrating an existing BlogCFC blog to a JamStack, with a focus on using Eleventy.

In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator.
There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it.

we put in a lot of effort into our docs and we'd greatly appreciate any criticism or feedback! Langfuse is powerful but the docs should help beginners to quickly get started and then incrementally use more features.

Thanks for reading!
The web tech stack is actually one of my biggest regrets. It's a static site generator called Gridsome[0] that the maintainers abandoned about three months after I used it to launch the TinyPilot website.
At the time I made the TinyPilot site, I was very excited about Vue, so a Vue-based SSG seemed great. Since then, I've come to find SPAs and most frontend frameworks to be way too much complexity, so I've moved away from Vue, but the TinyPilot website is still stuck on Vue 2.x and bootstrap-vue (which is tied to Vue 2 and Bootstrap 4).
So, it keeps creaking along, but building the 100ish pages on the site takes about five minutes, whereas I think something like Hugo could probably do it in a few seconds. Plus, we get random runtime errors[1] that are pretty hard to debug.

Project mention: Why You Should Write Your Own Static Site Generator | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-03
Most of the Static Site Generators default to generating blog from markdown, which is not feasible for company websites etc. For such projects I like Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com) which provides layouts/partials and things like haml templates.
Those have complicated stacks that likely won't serve the person that can't grasp a CLI SSG.
https://getpublii.com has a simple GUI and is just a directory on your computer (inside the Dropbox directory for crude backup?).
