  • Why I built my own static site generator
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Oct 2021
    I have an 84 line bash script that abuses find, sed and multimarkdown to generate a website with a blog, static pages, navigation and rss feed for the blog. The index page has a header and the last 5 blog entries ((Navigation between the blog entries is plain old basic javascript).(https://github.com/nicolasH/frankensteins)
