Patterns for Personal Web Sites
In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator.
There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it.

How to host final project (flask web application) on permanent server?
There's also Pelican but I haven't used it and seeing as Github serves static pages I'd imagine it builds and deploys your page and is done with it.

Ask HN: Which Python or Rust-based static site generators to use as of 2023?
I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python.
But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it.

Creating a Python Wiki application
Surely a "local private wiki ... not web based ... on a desktop application" is not really a "wiki" at all, but rather a "static site generator" with a built-in "search". If that's what you want, there's a Python app called Pelican. Writing such an app from scratch isn't really a beginners project.

Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll
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.

Beautifying Org Mode in Emacs (2018)
My main authoring tool is then Emacs Markdown Mode (https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/). For data entry, it comes with some bells and whistles similar to org-mode, like C-c C-l for inserting links etc.
I seldom export my notes for external usage, but if it is the case, I use lowdown (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/lowdown/) which also comes with some nice output targets (among the more unusual are Groff and Terminal). Of cource pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does a very good job here, too.

Show HN: I made a tool to clean and convert any webpage to Markdown
This is one of those things that the ever-amazing pandoc (https://pandoc.org/) does very well, on top of supporting virtually every other document format.

LaTeX makes me so angry at word
Folks feel the same way about Markdown versus LaTeX: why use something significantly more complicated where a looser, human-readable grammar works better?
For any other situations, I use https://pandoc.org/, or, generate a Word doc scriptomatically.

Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
Congrats on the launch, I guess, but there are so many free options that I can't think of a situation where paying $0.25 per document would be justified...? Just to name a few:
Back in the days, I used to use XSL-FO [0] and it was okay. It was not very precise but it rarely if ever broke, and was perfectly integrated with an XML/XSLT solution. Yeah, this was a long time ago.
Last month I used html-to-pdfmake [1] and it's also not very precise and more fragile, but very efficient and fast.
Yet another approach would be to pro grammatically generate .rtf files (for example) and use Pandoc [2] to produce PDFs (I have not tried this in production but don't see why it wouldn't work).

Ask HN: Looking for lightweight personal blogging platform
Others have mentioned static site generators. I like Hakyll [1] because it can tightly integrate with Pandoc [2] and allows you to develop custom solutions if your needs ever grow.

Pandoc
I have used it to kickstart a blogging project that I wish to come back to soon. The Lua inter-op for custom readers, writers and filters is great but I wish there was more editor integration and even perhaps an official IDE/editor with built-in debugging features (probably something already do-able with Emacs but I haven't checked). The only blocker for my project is no support for "ChunkedDoc" for Lua filters [1] which forces me to write more code and a complicated Makefile.
