Enjoyable to see another minimal static blog and the discussion around it.

Since we're chatting about our static site generators - I've been working on mine for a few months and naturally spend way more time on the generator than the content. ;) Mine is written in TypeScript and I'm targeting HTML 4.01 Strict for compat with old browsers.

It started pretty simple, just walk a directory of .md files and output .html, but it now has RSS, Atom, tags, a "latest" page, sitemap, stats, table of contents, SEO features, etc.

It's been fun - a nice "easy" project to slowly polish over time and to gradually grow my TS skills.

Am I the only one who uses bash and pandoc? I really should switch to a "real" language for SSG
