bashblog VS smu

bashblog is a single file bash shell script that will do what you want.

Bashblog - a single bash script to generate a static blog site. It’s over 1000 lines of code, but works well and is super easy to tweak/enhance

If you’ve ok with learning Markdown, then probably the most suckless way to build a static website is bashblog It’s one single bash script - that’s it.

Use a note taking app - I like Joplin and bashblog, but whatever works for you. I also have a personal pastebin set up so that I can zap stuff to it, and then look at it later when I have time.

A while ago I did some research and while it's not the only option I was quite taken with bashblog As you can see from the Changelog it's still actively developed and tweaked for some 10 years now.

You can use bashblog, a simple bash script that converts Markdown to HTML.

Note: you’ll need Perl installed if you want to use the canonical Markdown.pl script called by bashblog. I instead use smu from the suckless.org site and change the script to call that as a lighter weight solution.
