nexus VS Nikola

Nexus: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

This is a web framework + ORM for Nim. It's in desperate need of more work to support DBs other than PostgreSQL and make the ORM more flexible. The web side also needs more work.

I use it mainly for high-performance backend engines. E.g. I'm writing an automated trading system and the trading engine is written in Nim.

I wrote a Nim web framework that has an ORM: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus. However I mainly use the ORM with the back-end engines. You could write a Django-style web app with Nexus + Nimja, but it's difficult to compete with the huge ecosystems of React and Flutter.

It's not good for Nim, unfortunately. The language is great, but the community isn't that big.

If you're looking for a web framework with an ORM for Nim, check out Nexus: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

There's no Discord yet, just GitHub issues. Here's an issue to track this request: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus/issues/14

I'll email you regarding what/how to help.

Django is a great MVC framework. It might be overkill for a blog as another poster wrote, but it's still a good way to learn Django.

If you ever want to learn Nim, please consider Nexus (https://github.com/jfilby/nexus) as I'm building it to be something like Django for Nim.

Nexus is a Nim development framework.

The aim to create a web framework similar to Django, with a built-in ORM. The view layer needs work, and is mostly built out of available libraries with Jester for routing and Nimja for templating.

Nexus Development Framework, for Nim, is now available: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

Nim. It's just so quick and easy to write high performance code. That's why I'm writing a web framework for it, soon to be released: https://github.com/jfilby/nexus

Nikola is a feature-rich static site generator that supports a variety of formats for content creation, including reStructuredText, Markdown, and Jupyter Notebooks. It offers a flexible architecture, allowing you to use different template engines and supports plugins for extending functionality. Nikola is suitable for both simple blogs and complex websites.

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.

I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too.

I switched to Nikola recently: https://getnikola.com/

Reads every kind of plaintext format, but will also just publish a Jupyter notebook which means you can do drag and drop image and graph inlining which makes everything so much simpler (and thus makes me more likely to keep it up).

I've been using Nikola and am happy with it: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola

Might be this static site generator: https://getnikola.com/

Found it by searching [nikola software].

I know you say you're comfortable with your workflow, but just wanted to throw out that if you're not dependent on Jekyll, and are simply looking for the best way to create a static site/blog from org-mode files, you could consider Nikola as an alternative. It has an excellent org-mode plugin which would likely solve your complication.

I also know that there is also Python-based Lektor [2], however I found Nikola more intriguing than this one.
