yeoman VS Hugo

Drag and Drop Visual Programming Language, the click of a button is interpreted as a source of an object stream. Think packet oriented programming, of reactive functional programming, or RxJs, or Node-RED.

To answer your question: you evaluate a low-code builder by the ease with which it can generate entire website applications. And by generate, I mean code generation as well, because you want these programs to emit beautiful code that is indistinguishable from hand made code. For code generation see yeoman, especially AST parsing and that nifty var function: https://yeoman.io/

And of course any one of the 5 above is a good test, but all 5 in harmony are better.

As to non-visual/tui tools, its bash. shells are low code tools take a look:

AT&T Archives: The UNIX Operating System:

Plop js actually allows us to create the structures that we have previously created templates on cli via command. It does this in a very simple way. I can give hygen and yeoman as an alternative to plop js. I plan to write content about these libraries in the future.

You use them to install Yeoman and the VS Code Extension Generator. This generator creates a frame (scaffold) for your extension so you don't have to write everything from scratch. If you elect to build your project using TypeScript (recommended for this blog), it's recommended that you install the TypeScript + Webpack Problem Matcher to make it easier to find and match coding errors.

Nice, reminds me of https://yeoman.io/ which was popular couple years ago

Before we can start building the extension, we need to gather and prepare the necessary tools. In this case, the needed tools are node, git, yeoman and generator-code. For a newcomer like myself, this basic tutorial is perfect. I recommend going through it to learn the fundamentals.

If you wanted something much more advanced for some actual syntax highlighting and not just word highlighting, you can you use the built-in tools to create your own language syntax highlighter. You can define words, expressions, and grammar that gets formatted and colored and more across a specific type of file (you could enable it for .txt files if you really wanted to). You'd want to install Yeoman and the VScode Extension Generator.

Maybe recheck the name ? https://www.npmjs.com/package/yo https://yeoman.io/

If you are wondering about performance cost please take a look here, especially the last comment. https://github.com/yeoman/yeoman/issues/810 . With the advent of http2 and http3 the tcp connection is never reset and in http 3 the browser can always stop and resume the image loading without throwing the current progress away. FB, Google, Shopify, Reddit and many others are all using webp which doesn't support progressive rendering and I am sure at their scale they have at least million site visits with slow network and they are doing fine.

At one point though I realized there is a scaling problem with my build minutes. I knew that golang has considerably faster builds and in my case the easy fix is swapping over to Hugo.

This blog is running on Hugo. It had previously been running on Jekyll. Both these SSGs ship with the ability to create excerpts from your markdown content in 1 line or thereabouts.

Hugo

Hugo is a popular static site generator specifically designed to create websites and documentation lightning-fast. Its minimalist approach, emphasis on speed, and ease of use have made it popular among developers, technical writers, and anybody looking to construct high-quality websites without the complexity of typical CMS platforms.

As per many other comments, it sounds like a static site generator like Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) or Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/), hosted on GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) or GitLab Pages (https://about.gitlab.com/stages-devops-lifecycle/pages/), would be a good match. If you set up GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD to do the build and deploy (see e.g. https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-github/), your normal workflow will simply be to edit markdown and do a git push to make your changes live. There are a number of pre-built themes (e.g. https://themes.gohugo.io/) you can use, and these are realtively straightforward to tweak to your requirements.

Create the technical documentation of your project You can use any of the following options: * A wiki, like the ArchWiki that uses MediaWiki * Read the Docs, used by projects like Setuptools. Check Awesome Read the Docs for more examples. * Create a website * Create a blog, like the documentation of Blowfish, a theme for Hugo.

Doing this made me appreciate existing SSGs like Hugo and Next.js even more👏👏

I suggest hugo: https://gohugo.io/

Generates a completely static website from MD (and other formats) files; also handles themes (including a lot of them rendering well on mobile), and different types of content - posts, articles, etc. - depending on the theme.

It's open source and, being completely static, cheap as fuck to self host.
