  • Soupault: A static website management tool
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Mar 2024
    I'm using soupault right now to make a simple company wiki (under a dozen pages). I like how it's HTML-first and easily customizable, compared to other static site generators that come with too many bells and whistles. Although now I have to make my own image compression script...

    Also, fun fact: soupault is written in OCaml, which apparently has a really nice library for HTML manipulation: https://github.com/aantron/lambdasoup

    OCaml’s Lambda Soup (https://aantron.github.io/lambdasoup/) is a amazing library/, especially for those that prefer functional programming
  • Soupault (soup-oh) is a tool that helps you create and manage static websites

    It's used for sorting "widgets" (page processing steps) according to dependency lists that users can specify in the config (like `after = ["foo", "bar"]`).

    Other than that, one thing I really like about OCaml is that the compiler team and most library maintainers are considerate towards downstream users with respect to compatibility.

    The Lua interpreter [3] that soupault uses for its plugin API is a revived 20 year old research project. It only needed minor modifications to build with recent compiler versions.
