camply VS Nikola

Adding Textual support to camply [1] was apparently very easy. I didn't to the implementation; I just contribute to the project sometimes: https://juftin.com/camply/command_line_usage/#tui

I've got an open-source project called camply. Here's the spiel:

I've built a free command line tool that helps with this - it's called camply: https://juftin.com/camply.

Here's a personal page built with Jekyll: https://juftin.com. And here's a Sphinx Page: https://juftin.com/camply. Both are actually hosted on GitHub pages for free.

I used this one once, but it only does campsite availability.

I came across a reddit post about a really neat tool somebody created to find openings at campgrounds on the recreation.gov website (after cancellations) and get notified immediately. This does not secure you the reservation, but instead uses the website's (public) API to link you to the booking page, from which you then select those dates that somebody else cancelled. It looks like this.

If you have a working understanding of how to run the below command and then your command line proficiency is likely enough to work with camply and you can feel free to start a discussion on GitHub to ask questions: https://github.com/juftin/camply/discussions

Nikola is a feature-rich static site generator that supports a variety of formats for content creation, including reStructuredText, Markdown, and Jupyter Notebooks. It offers a flexible architecture, allowing you to use different template engines and supports plugins for extending functionality. Nikola is suitable for both simple blogs and complex websites.

You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola.

I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too.

I switched to Nikola recently: https://getnikola.com/

Reads every kind of plaintext format, but will also just publish a Jupyter notebook which means you can do drag and drop image and graph inlining which makes everything so much simpler (and thus makes me more likely to keep it up).

I've been using Nikola and am happy with it: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola

Might be this static site generator: https://getnikola.com/

Found it by searching [nikola software].

I know you say you're comfortable with your workflow, but just wanted to throw out that if you're not dependent on Jekyll, and are simply looking for the best way to create a static site/blog from org-mode files, you could consider Nikola as an alternative. It has an excellent org-mode plugin which would likely solve your complication.

I also know that there is also Python-based Lektor [2], however I found Nikola more intriguing than this one.
