  • WordPress next, and beyond: breaking the technical enclosure
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Jun 2024
    Obligatory meme:

    https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/

    I'm personally in the top left corner and bottom right corner. I have used WordPress since 2004-2005, and I've also written a Python static site generator before using Flask, Frozen-Flask[1], and webpack. I've also made stops through tools like Sphinx, Hugo, Gatsby, and VitePress[2]. But my personal site continues to run WordPress[3]. I think I'd prefer something like VitePress these days for a technical documentation site. Also, I recently learned that MediaWiki with a reasonable theme like Citizen[4] is a nice choice for an open source powered private wiki, although I do find the Mediawiki markup language a little cumbersome versus simpler markup languages like reST or Markdown/MyST in the Python community (or GitHub-flavored Markdown or Asciidoc elsewhere).

  • VitePress 1.0
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 21 Mar 2024
    There is a discussion related to naming on GitHub: https://github.com/vuejs/vitepress/discussions/548

    > I initially gave VitePress a different name because I wanted to be able to explore a different architecture without worrying about backwards compat. After shipping the vuejs.org with VitePress, I believe VitePress is flexible enough to be a full replacement of current VuePress while offering better DX and better performance.

    Given that version 1 landed as "VitePress" they probably decided to keep the name.

    > ...

    > I think we should ship VitePress stable as VuePress 3, but I am open to potential questions and concerns.

    > Pros: Less confusion in the long run. There will be just one officially maintained SSG with better DX, better performance, and customization that fully aligns with standard Vite-based Vue apps.

    > Cons: Potential confusion in the short run, since there are probably a lot of tutorials / integrations targeting VuePress 1. Still I think with the recent Vue 3 switch, users won't be surprised with a major upgrade for VuePress.

    I was inspired by a great series of blog posts and decided to adapt the approach to my needs. In this blog post, I will go over the solution I used in my VitePress site but you can also check a more basic example in this CodePen.
  • Meteor is getting new docs!
    2 projects | dev.to | 24 Jan 2024
    While researching which static site generator we would use, we had a lot of frameworks to pick up from, but only some addressed our needs. While choosing, we needed it to have a good "default" template, out-of-the-box plugins, and be easy to extend its functionalities. From our research, the one that matched most criteria and felt the easiest to start and progress with was Vitepress.

    I have a few Jekyll blogs including my personal one and I haven't had to touch the Jekyll part for quite a while (it takes a while to compile). I just write in Obsidian and then Github takes over.

    I also maintain two VitePress[1] sites. Once I setup it up (I still use Sublime Text), I do the writing on Obsidian.

    What I write and see in Obsidian is good enough that I have just done away with looking at how the site looks after I change/add/edit the text. I sometimes do but just to check build and if the sitemaps are generated, etc. -- routine hygiene.

    Consider Nuxt instead of Vuepress/Vitepress. If you want the built-in theme in Vitepress, it's great, but if you want to make your own, using Nuxt with the Content plugin is probably better. I found the strong separation between theme and content to be too great, and if I have a docs SSG site using Vitepress and a webapp SSR site using Nuxt, I can't share themes easily anyway.

    At least that was my conclusion starting with Vitepress, and ending up with Nuxt 3.
