Are people even using something else than YAML front matter in their Markdown (or whatever) files?
Apparently there are SSGs that support HTML <meta> tag front matter, and if you're using ReStructured Text it probably does its own thing. And I bet there's at least one person on the planet building their website from ASN.1 files.
What are _you_ using?
Bon j'ai trouvé ça en remplacement mais j'aime pas du tout le format de la date mais pas grave.
Il a fallu que je change toutes les balise de mes pages 
#Jekyll #StaticWebsite
Morning!
Need some #Frontend input.
I have a client who wants a basic site.
He is agnostic about the tech.
But he does need
I want to use 11ty with Notion (or similar CMS). And do the password stuff with some auth (pretty new to me).
He is a photographer and has some images of drug use/abuse. So I was slightly cautious about putting images that could potentially violate a platforms TOS even if they are only ever served to pages that are behind a passworded folder.
We can happily go down the Wordpress route. My preference would be to avoid that, but at least he would have ownership of the DB.
Any thoughts? Insights?
TIA
Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
Nice to have
Absolutely not
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)
Horay, I've successfully converted a markdown.file into a html-file via @pandoc !
I guess my first question is... where can I even see how many build minutes or MB of bandwidth my site has used? 
Right now I assume it's in the kB range still, just because I test-loaded the index page a few times, so not worth worrying about.
Update: Looks like that is still on the roadmap (https://www.statichost.eu/roadmap/)
Do I know anyone that has experience with https://www.statichost.eu/? I've been looking for replacements of my (quite low profile) S3-buckets-as-websites and this seems almost too good to be true.
I’ve created a test account, naturally, but if there are gotchas I'd love to hear them
Boosts 
appreciated

My personal site is a static website. I then decided to add a #blog. I was doing everything manually (including the RSS!) because I wasn't able to find an app with a GUI that could generate a blog with a static page as homepage. Luckily, @publii added pages lately, so I'm trying using that. If all goes well, I may recommend it to people I know that wanted to ditch #Wordpress. #staticwebsite
So... First experiments with using Obsidian and mkdocs to create a static website has been successful.
As have been tests, setting up the free version of CloudFlare to protect my stuff from 'AI crawler bots'.
Next on the list, converting a Wordpress blog into an Obsidian vault and turn it into a static website.
With the current situation at Wordpress going on, I'm not exactly trusting them...
Is there any way to convert epub files to static websites, with
- table of contents
- one chapter per page
- previous/next link on each page
automatically?
Have to convert around 900 epub ebooks from https://FreeTamilEbooks.com
to static sites and link there.

Should one use #hugo to generate a #staticwebsite website on #linux for uploading to a #webserver? Or are there other alternatives? What do you use? I am not an #html total novice but like an easy life not chasing missing brackets deep into the night #staticwebsites
My simple answer when someone ask me “what should I do with my wordpress blog or installation?”
“Go static!”

I'm a proponent of static websites. Most generators use a folder structure with Markdown files and other assets as the input.
However, not all users are confident editing Markdown and YAML front matter etc. by hand.
Are there any good web frontends for this kind of stuff?
It should feel like the authoring backend for WordPress or whatever random CMS, with a WYSIWYG editor, and the result are Markdown files & assets. Bonus points for Git support.
I'm working on a #staticwebsite project and would like to collect some #blog posts from those who have some good stories about blogging and the use of static sites. This is platform independent and aims to bring awareness to static websites, their use, fun, and other reasons to have a blog or website.
Hey Fediverse friends!
I am looking for #help with #Weblate for an #Eleventy static website for my workshop Knitting Our Internet.
I tried setting it up, but I can’t get my head around it!
Could anyone help out? I would just need help with the initial configuration.
More information about the task in this post on Weblate’s GitHub discussion

#Termux #staticweb #blog #webdev with #Pandoc, day 2.
Day 1 here: https://mastodon.ml/@jilotta/112797081655918169
Changelog:
+ Added first article and article index
+ Changed the colorscheme so that clicked links look pale and blend into text while fresh links are accented.
+ Added a <meta name="theme-color"> tag into template so that the browser statusbars match the background in color.
+ Fixed error screen. It's no longer white and lifeless. Now the font and the colorscheme match the rest of the website.
+ Added joke
+ Added favicon
+ Fixed file hierarchy
Quark (by suckless), the server I'm using, doesn't support HTTPS by default, and for it to work I'd need to install a TLS proxy.
It would be impossible to actually host the website from Termux since port :80 (the HTTP port) is blocked by the Android system. Currently, the site is hosted on my local WiFi at port :6969.
