Working on a making a blog, which means this is the third time I try to make a static site generator
You see, I have this affliction that means I just can't use existing blog software, I have to make my own. I hope I finish before my motivation runs out like every other time or I may be doomed to do this again and again like Sisyphus.
One of the bad signs is that I'm writing my static site generator in shell script.
@quirk it would not be the first time i've seen one
@quirk i went with using grav which isn't per se blogging software but rather a much more robust and customizable CMS than wordpress - i had to do plenty of work to build up a template which would display posts with publish dates and tags etc and there's some idiosyncrasies but overall i felt it was more fulfilling than using blog software and not quite as crushing as making it all from scratch
@mavica_again Thanks! I will keep this as my backup option
One of the good signs this time around is that I'm actually interested in writing blog posts, and not just making a half-baked attempt at a static site generator before realizing that I don't have anything to write about.
