Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform
In future, if you want to move from Jekyll to something else, you just have to worry about that `_posts` and `_assets` folder. They may have different naming convention but you can just config-managed it or change it to your choice. This is why I suggested owning that two yourself.
You also may not worry about FrontMatter[3] (meta in the header) and its accompanying jazz by asking Jekyll to use the plugins `jekyll-optional-front-matter` and `jekyll-titles-from-headings`. These comes as part of the officially supported Jekyll plugins[4] by Github. That way, you are just writing a human-readable plain-text spiced up with Markdown and readable by almost every other Static Site Generator.
Now, play with the `_config.yml` that Jekyll generates for you from the theme above to define your post dates, navigation, and others. Jekyll is one of the OGs β the Gandalf of Static Site Generators. If you have a problem, someone somewhere has solved that.
Did I missed something? I was supposed to write a blog article for my website on this one and this comment will serve as my starting bullet points.

How to run Jekyll on Kubernetes
I created my blog using Jekyll, a great open-source tool that can transform your markdown content into a simple, old-fashioned-but-trendy, static site. What are the advantages of this approach? The site is super-light, super-fast, super-secure and SEO-friendly. Of course, itβs not always the best solution, but for some use cases, like a simple personal blog, itβs really a good option.

Ask HN: What's the simplest static website generator?
I suggest you to try out eleventhy (https://www.11ty.dev/)

Eleventy - Create a global production flag
A production flag enables you to run activities in dev or production such as minifying assets, showing draft posts, etc. There isn't a built-in flag or function that comes with eleventy (11ty) specifically for this. However we have this info at our fingertips.

Removing React is just weakness leaving your codebase
Itβs 2024, and you are about to start a new project. Do you reach for React, a framework you know and love or do you look at one of the other hot new frameworks like Astro, Enhance, 11ty, SvelteKit or gasp, plain vanilla Web Components?

Eleventy vs. Next.js for static site generation
Eleventy is a fast and powerful SSG that really shines when it comes to pure static site generation because it does not require the loading of a client-side JavaScript bundle in order to serve content.

Why You Should Write Your Own Static Site Generator
https://doublejosh.com/post/186193119278/metalsmithjs-is-sti...
Then two years ago I needed a more robust SSR system based on React, so I went with GatsbyJS. It's insanely mature and intuitive, but as we all know that community and business is now drying up too. But the framework is still great.
Now everyone sings the praises of NextJS, which can be used for SSR but is intended for applications and active server endpoints. But more complexity doesn't mean better.
I'm keen to try other simple frameworks when the result is a static site. I may give https://www.11ty.dev a shot.
