Anybody know of any frameworks for blogging that allows for text based only blogs? I really love this aaronsw.com/weblog

I recently created a blog using Hugo and hosted it on Vercel. It's actually stupidly simple. Go on Vercel, create a new Hugo template, clone it, apply a theme and push changes.

I use iA Writer as a markdown text editor. It supports publishing to Ghost, Medium, Micro.blog, Micropub, and WordPress. I can't see a way to add media to my notes so even if the blogging framework used allows it, you'd have to go out of your way to do so.

Most markdown based static site generators, would be a good place to look; Zola (getzola.org) is pretty simple and straightforward. You can setup GitLab or github pages to auto build, there's instructions in the docs.

Aaron actually created his own framework webpy way back when, more likely than not his blog is running on it too. You can find the modern incarnation here: github.com/webpy/w...

I actually did a project a few years ago when I was in college using webpy. It was really sad to see the documentation with things like "will come back to this later" and such.

That's pretty cool that you were using it so recently. The docs are like a window to the heady days of web 2.0; SOAP, CGI, etc

Yes. It's called the Hypertext Markup Language. My website runs on it and each page is maybe a kilobyte each, plus most browsers since the 90s can render it.
😕 Fine
That could be said for many generated static sites as well. Is there still a compelling reason to "roll your own"? Does that reason hold up if you get any more structurally complex than a few pages?

It really isn't that hard to do HTML. If you wanna change style on multiple pages you can use a stylesheet. I code all my websites by hand in HTML to keep them light and it doesn't take nearly as long as you think

Are you wanting an available WYSIWYG? Or are you fine with writing things up in Markdown and then rendering them?

I am ok with writing them up in markdown

I can't reply again to the original post, but a while ago I built a very basic markdown-based SSG, which sounds like what you're looking for. feel free to check it out! tdjs.tech/projects...
🤔 David
If you like tinkering around with things, I definitely suggest trying your hand at creating your own SSG using some tools such as next.js or sapper from svelte.dev. That's what I'm doing with my own blog. Like @tdjs mentioned, github.com/mdx-js/mdx is powerful when combined with any framework that can output SSG stuff. Now if you don't want to tinker as much and want premade themes then Jekyll and Gatsby are great for that.

Thanks man. I love the look of your site. I'll look into those tools.

I've heard of that. I will check it out. Thanks!
