I've had this idea for a blog post for quite some time now and would really like to write about it and get it out of my head, the problem? I don't have a blog ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@maxalmonte14 and watching your replies for suggestions in 3....2....

@heyfluxay hahaha.
I appreciate auggestions, I was thinking of hosting a static website with GitHub pages then I asked myself "what static site generator are you going to use?" started looking at the options and got overwhelmed
-
@maxalmonte14 i summon @joel for all things blogging
-
@heyfluxay @maxalmonte14 i use Jekyll and it's good
-
@joel @heyfluxay @maxalmonte14 Can I come in with another rec of @eleventy if you’re a JS enjoyer
-
@roguefoam @joel @heyfluxay @eleventy it would seem Jekyll has been around since forever, maybe I'll try it, although I don't think I even have the Ruby runtime on my machine. 11ty seems to be very popular right now, but I don't know if I really need more JavaScript in my life LOL.

@maxalmonte14 @roguefoam @joel @heyfluxay @eleventy If you’re planning on infrequent posts I would just write it inside an HTML doc hosted on some URL you own. I wouldn’t bother with anything more complicated that notepad edited HTML and CSS
-
@leroy that was actually my first thought, but writing HTML and CSS by hand requires some work if you wanna end up with something decent looking and that doesn't break on some devices. Granted, this is way easier than let's say 15 years ago thanks to stuff like flexbox and CSS grid, but using a template provided by a static site generator is even more convenient. There's indeed some friction on the process of picking a static site generator but after that it's smooth sailing.
