lazyblorg VS Hexo

Between the first idea and the actual start of the implementation of lazyblorg there was a time span of several years. ;-)

My website is generated by lazyblorg which is using DuckDuckGo for searches. A query looks like that:

Shameless plug: I blog about Emacs but since I was too lazy to implement topic-specific feeds yet, you could add my general feed to get my Emacs-related articles as well. I'm sure that decent feed aggregators are able to filter for specific topics/words.

When your focus is "fast and easy creating a blog entry anywhere in my Org files" and you don't have special needs for JavaScript-foo, you might love https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg which I built for https://karl-voit.at/

I've seen Weblorg, which is Native Elisp, but rewrites me to create a new file for each blog-post. Then there's Lazyblorg, but it's written in python, and also searches across all your .org files, not just a single one.

Therefore, I implemented my own (very naïve and nasty) Org parser for lazyblorg.

There are also many alternatives for selecting Static-Side Generating blog framework such as Hexo, Gatsby, Next.js (more details here). We will pick Hexo as our framework because it is a fast, simple & powerful blog framework.

Some alternatives I'm considering learning instead of Gatsby are Jeckyll or Hexo.

Hello Joe_Boogz,

Blog is using Hexo (https://hexo.io/) and a little modified Cactus theme (https://probberechts.github.io/hexo-theme-cactus/). If some of the websites looks interesting to you and you would like how they are built you can use Wappalyzer (https://www.wappalyzer.com/lookup/0ut3r.space)

How do you manage the content? Or does the customer contact you and you edit the static sites yourself? I'm thinking about using hexo.io (made lots of great experiences with that) and the admin-plugin, so I can offer possible clients that they can edit the content themself, without needing me and without losing page speed.

Hexo

I have personally used hexo[1] successuccessfully in th epast and would recommend it. Though any ssg, likd zola[2], should be enough.

If youyou're comfortcomfortable writing html directly it will also suffice. Make a list of what you need (posts, kmages, videos , comments) and compare SSGs[3].

I recently created my static blog site using hexo.io. It’s command line driven and Markdown based. One comnand to add a new Markdown file, one to build, one to deploy to DreamHost.

After searching for a while, I found Hexo, an SSG. I was interested on working on this one since I am working on an SSG myself. I thought, "maybe I can get some inspiration from them on how to approach the design of my SSG🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♀️"
