This site is built by jenny, a static blog generator written in bash, sed and awk. No nodemodules, no build server, no framework — a handful of shell scripts and heredoc templates.
Why bother
Most static site generators solve a problem this site does not have. There is no client-side routing here, no hydration, no islands. There is markdown on disk and HTML on a CDN.
The whole pipeline is:
-
read
*.mdfrom the current directory - run each through a markdown parser
- fill in a heredoc template
-
write the result to
.dist/
That is it. The build for this page takes well under a second.
What is here
Not much yet. That is the point of a placeholder.
