pratik.is VS makesite

I'm really enjoying working with MDX (JSX & markdown hybrid). https://mdxjs.com/

I was able to quickly put together a blog with some pretty nice features (e.g. margin notes): https://pratik.is/writing/essays/media-as-food

Writing content in markdown and enhancing interactivity with JSX is amazing.

If you click "Raw" here you can see how the blog post is just markdown with some custom JSX elements littered in, e.g. : https://github.com/pringshia/pratik.is/blob/master/pages/wri...

Thank you for sharing the link to the source code. My simple site generator is based on my wife's project makesite.py[1]. In fact, I used her site generator for a few years before I went all in on Common Lisp for my personal projects. Then I reimplemented makesite.py in Common Lisp.

I ended up using the developer-focused https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite , but I heard Hugo and Jekyll have plenty of themes that I assume can be dropped in. Good luck!

I've been using makesite.py, which is ~200 lines of python, dumping the picture in a pics folder and then hand editing the markdown.

Maybe a few lines of code and template work would let you add a custom template that would automatically add a folder worth of images.
