Andrea CallegaroI'm starting to learn static site development and minimal digital publishing. I'm interested in working with Hugo/Jekyll, Markdown, and accessible minimal design, especially for digital humanities projects.If you have essential resources, examples, or learning paths to recommend, I'd appreciate it.

I am now playing around with <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/troff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#troff</a> a bit.

Frederik ElwertYou want to use a <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/StaticSiteGenerator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#StaticSiteGenerator</a> and need to support <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/multilingual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multilingual</a> sites? It’s now easier than ever! For quite a while, <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/Pelican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pelican</a> had a great plugin for that use case. Now I helped migrate it to the new plugin format, which means that it can easily be installed from <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/PyPI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PyPI</a>. <a href="https://github.com/pelican-plugins/i18n-subsites" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/pelican-plugins/i18n-subsites</a> <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/MultilingualDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MultilingualDH</a> <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/MinimalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MinimalComputing</a>

It’s not a product, it’s an exercise in <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/MinimalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MinimalComputing</a> and a proof-of-concept. Since it now has a home on GitHub and basic documentation, I thought I could also share it for people to tinker with. <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/DigitalHumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalHumanities</a> GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/frederik-elwert/pelican-collection-demo" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/frederik-elwert/pelican-collection-demo</a> Live demo: <a href="https://frederik-elwert.github.io/pelican-collection-demo/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://frederik-elwert.github.io/pelican-collection-demo/</a>

Marian Dörkat the <a href="https://vis.social/tags/CrossingFonds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CrossingFonds</a> symposium, Joey Takeda (SFU) just gave an interesting talk about long-term sustainability of the web-based results generated during <a href="https://vis.social/tags/DigitalHumanities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigitalHumanities</a> projects.a key take-away is to make sure that all results are made accessible for any type of web server—and the key to make this practically happen is to make it "static from the start".

Peter BinkleyI attended a webinar on CinemaScience <a href="https://cinemascience.github.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cinemascience.github.io/</a> , an app/environment for rendering large-scale 3D visualizations (i.e. ones too big to render on your workstation in real time). It's basically Wax for 3D: it pre-renders all the views (for different angles, values of parameters, etc.), so that a browser (or its python viewer) is powerful enough to render a view where you can rotate, push sliders to change your parameters, etc. Nifty! <a href="https://code4lib.social/tags/MinimalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MinimalComputing</a> <a href="https://training.westdri.ca/tools/visualization/#cinema" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://training.westdri.ca/tools/visualization/#cinema</a>

Frederik ElwertI had an idea (that I guess is not necessarily new): Build a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MinimalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MinimalComputing</a> collection website like <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/wax" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#wax</a> but using a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LinkedArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LinkedArt</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/JSONLD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JSONLD</a> file as a data source instead of a CSV.
