choosealicense.com VS Middleman

I recently switched a couple of my projects to non-commercial:

https://polyformproject.org/licenses/noncommercial/1.0.0

I would recommend it to anyone, but it does have some drawbacks. Notably, GitHub and the Go programming language refuse to support it:

https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/issues/1015

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/54683

> License the source explicitly for non commercial use only

Sadly, GitHub support for this doesn't really exist:

I think he wants to know under what license you've released this code, in case anyone wants to use it. You can find a list of open source licenses here: https://opensource.org/licenses. Usually this licence is added in a LICENSE.md file in the github repo, see https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/blob/gh-pages/LICENSE.md for example.

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.

I've done similar with Middleman, and I'm 99% sure you could set this up with Pelican if you wanted. It sounds like the site generation workflow is the issue rather than the tool.

I use middleman[^1] + bulmaCSS + FontAwesome but host on github using the `github.io` domain and upload podcasts to "archive.org"[^2]. The reason I choose this setup is because I want the content to survive as much as possible, hence open source technology and "free & long lived" hosting were requirements.

Thanks u/Draegan88, but what's Middleman got to do with app architecture & design/ERD/schema design?

I came across Middleman but it's meant to work with Ruby not necessarily Rails, it's also a bit old although appears kept up to date.

A simple middleman app consumes the data and builds a static export that runs standalone (just HTML, CSS and some JS files). That gets FTP'd/released to the webserver.

Middleman

For my personal site, which is 10 years old, I use Middleman, and I deploy the site to S3/Cloudfront with s3_website. It works fine for now. If s3_website stops working, I'll move to Netlify probably.
