eternia VS qubyte-codes

https://www.catpea.com/ custom code exploring github editable data, that is then processed into a local .cache folder and made into an express (JS) website which I then spider to convert into a static version.

UI uses bootstrap with minor modifications.

Compilation is handeled via https://github.com/catpea/eternia which I can't replace with hugo, as I want to have a notion of books, playlists, maybe javascript apps in some articles. I need a custom static site generator.

I am learning how to Narrate audiobooks while reading my own poetry, and learning how to write out philosophical ideas in the process.

I also convert the audio into simple videos on youtube, and recently uploaded a 70+ hour behemoth to the Internet Archive (3.6GB) https://archive.org/details/@catpea-com

I recommend making an audio recording of your writings (I use audacity and a mic with a pop/plosive filer) even if just for your family for 50 or a 100 years from now.

I have no views, I have no time to argue with people which is why I keep away from social media, I only have time make a stranger laugh (I do digital portraits on reddit and occasionally compose a weird song on youtube).

As to the content it self, I am just exploring random subjects, that capture my own curiosity. It is nothing special, it will take me a couple more decades to grow into a writer. This is my start.

Currently I am babbling about digital painting, previously 3D Printing, Music Composition, Circuit Design, Programming, Teaching, Dancing (I dance to Blanco Brown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7U6AoZ27yE at the gym every day I can't help it), Bicycling, Camping, and sending people on the Appalachian trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSvdKTEZug

I host with vercel, as a hobby project. If you want to grab all the audio, use the archive.org or youtube. The archive.org link has everything one file, and youtube has a playlist you can hop around.

I am not a fan of ads, I understand YouTube maybe running their own ads on videos I did not monetize. If I recorded a video of my readings, and did video editing, I would regret putting all that time into videos that now would have ads between them.

I like being a narrator, not a fan of videos, decades from now I'll write an AudioBook, in which I complain about High School.

I blog about things which interest me (mostly JS and creative code related), but also take Japanese language notes as I learn. Also part of the 250KB club!

It's built with my own hand-rolled static site generator, and I'm pretty proud of it's capabilities now. I've got a bunch of indieweb features integrated into it. I have no sense of style though!

I use server rendered SVG with mathjax as part of my static site generator. To try to make it as accessible as possible I add a title element with an ID to each SVG and use an aria-labelledby attribute to connect the two [1] (a sample for the interested, scroll about half way down [2]). The title content is the unrendered LaTeX source.

I'm very interested in the notion of using HTML and CSS rendering though! Many thanks to the author for pointing out this functionality.

Another static site builder author here. I found some of the same awkwardness in recreating __dirname, but after some massaging found it only remains when path.join is also used (which can't work with a file URL and can't be simply replaced with URL construction because the existing path is lost). I went the whole hog and completely replaced all CJS in my own code, and it's working well. Luckily I avoided issues with third party modules breaking.
