Add reactivity to your Next.js blog using giscus
When creating my blog-centric personal portfolio, I had a goal of launching it as soon as possible. However, considering including a comment feature, the implementation process could be time-consuming. That's when I started looking for a solution that was easy to set up yet provided essential commenting functionalities. It was during this search that I stumbled upon Giscus.

To use Disqus or Giscus (Github Discussions) for comments is the conundrum
But now, a new fellow named giscus commenting system has entered the town, it's basically powered by github. Since I already host my blog on github pages, this should be a natural choice for me, right? Many bloggers seem to be migrating to this new system and I might too soon. The downsides however are as follows:

ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Bear. A privacy-first, no-nonsense, super-fast blogging platform
I've encountered https://github.com/utterance/utterances, which relies on github issues for providing a blog comments system of a sort.
Alternatively there's https://github.com/giscus/giscus, which instead uses github discussions.
Haven't used either so can't comment (heh) on their "performance".

Patterns for Personal Web Sites
In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator.
There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it.

Ask HN: Which Python or Rust-based static site generators to use as of 2023?
I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python.
But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it.

Creating a Python Wiki application
Surely a "local private wiki ... not web based ... on a desktop application" is not really a "wiki" at all, but rather a "static site generator" with a built-in "search". If that's what you want, there's a Python app called Pelican. Writing such an app from scratch isn't really a beginners project.

Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll
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.
