  • That’s definitely something I want to explore. I saw this[0][1] a while ago and think a setup with it could work out well, but I haven’t tested any of it yet. If you do, definitely let me know if it works out well.

  • awesome-selfhosted

    A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers

  • Sweet, a roll-your-own Geocities but in Markdown! I'd like it if this approach took off for personal websites/blogs/social media. Maybe share it with some of those lists of self-hosted alternatives? Like here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

    I've actually been working on my own static website builder in Perl too - though it is nowhere near as sophisticated as a whole hosting platform. Being able to feed these beasts directories of text files, hitting enter and watching it do all the work (using your work) is a pleasure all on its own.

    Discontinued Example site made from markdown files.

  • hugo-example.markdownsite.net

    Discontinued An example hugo site for markdownsite.

  • os-example.markdownsite.net
