posse VS grip

12 yr FE dev here, and I’m a big fan of static site again, when possible. Who needs SPA when your round trip cost requires no JS eval or boot time? I wrote this library that is intended for somewhat tech savvy folks to easily generate static sites using AWS: https://github.com/dclowd9901/posse

I agree: building sites like that brings the fun back to web development in a big way.

Gonna take this opportunity to plug my static site generator, which uses markdown as well. It deploys to an S3 bucket and handles purging a Cloudfront CDN. It’s opinionated, but lightweight and fast.

A popular implementation of the idea written in Python:

For creating static web pages I usually use grip [1] to convert markdown. If you’re lazy this even works as a blog. I suppose if you’re even lazier you can just use a GitHub repo directly.

I'm putting together a little package to preview markdown files similarly to how they are rendered on GitHub. Previously I've used grip (and grip-mode), which are awesome, but I wanted a little more room for customization and to avoid hitting the GitHub API on every change.

Any recommendation for grip in Rust? So far I only find this.

If you cannot push markdown notes to a git hosting platform and must have a local markdown previewer, have you tried grip installed via pip?

I use one of these: - Sublime Text Package MarkdownPreview - Command line tool Grip - Browser Markdown editor https://dillinger.io/

Getting "click an .md file and it opens in the browser for viewing" for this Markdown viewer would be awesome: https://github.com/joeyespo/grip

Check out grip: it’s a Markdown previewer that runs in the background, checks for updates, and renders the output to HTML on a locally running server. The nice things is that changes to the Markdown document are updated automatically and immediately.
