Covers topics on architecting, building, deploying and running software and systems for the web based on open source tools with lean methodologies.

Sorry, that's not minimalism. gwern.net isn't either; I'd call that "brutalism" instead.

THIS is minimalism: https://manuel.kiessling.net

Precisely in the sense of "NOT a lot going on at all times". Just the content, presented pleasently.

And importantly, it's not only minimalism in look-and-feel, but also technically: even a long post with an embedded image like https://manuel.kiessling.net/2021/05/02/tutorial-react-singl... weighs in at under 200 KiB. Loads in under 3 seconds even on "slow 3G" in Chrome. 362 milliseconds via my office's wifi.

Also, no JavaScript. Nothing moves or jumps. Perfectly usable and consumable in a CLI browser like Lynx.

All of that without looking brutalist.

It’s also a great extension of a CV, at least I see my https://manuel.kiessling.net blog that way.

I have a very oldschool "FTP webspace" with Ionos (from 1&1) - it's really just your run-of-the-mill static website hosting package, basically unchanged since the late nineties.

Well, it surely changed a lot under the hood from the provider's perspective, I assume, but from the user's perspective, it works as it has always worked: you have a domain, you have an (S)FTP account, you upload your static HTML/CSS files, et voilá, you have a homepage/blog.

I create my HTML/CSS locally using Hugo. The source for my homepage and its blog posts can be seen at https://github.com/manuelkiessling/manuel.kiessling.net.

Super simple, no headaches, no downtimes. Less than 4 bucks per month.

I do depend on Ionos, of course, but as it's only HTML and CSS, it with every web site hosting solution on the planet.

I also depend on Hugo, of course, but Hugo is open source, and I've even stored the Hugo binaries for different platforms locally.

My homepage is at https://manuel.kiessling.net/.

I use FastPages by fastai community: https://fastpages.fast.ai/ It's similar to Markdown in terms of writing the blog and you can even convert your Jupyter Notebook to a blog page directly.

My blog isn't all that amazing visually, but I'll use this to recommend fast pages. If you know a bit of coding and your goal is to write and not tinker, it's the perfect tool.

Fastpage blog

Thanks for mentioning nbdev (which as mentioned works well with DeepNote).

FYI, the blog post you linked to is a bit out of date - we have something much better for blogging with jupyter notebooks nowadays, which is fastpages: https://fastpages.fast.ai/ . It's compatible with the same annotations used in nbdev.

Have you looked into https://github.com/fastai/fastpages

From the readme:

>An easy to use blogging platform, with support for Jupyter notebooks, Word docs, and Markdown.

There's also that: https://www.scottcondron.com/jupyter/blogging/visualisation/...

Found by searching for "jupyter notebook to blog"

Try fastpages from fastai. You can create blogs from your notebook https://github.com/fastai/fastpages
