My runner up was Pelican, because I was fluent in Jinja2, but I didn’t want to mess around with the templates and Hugo’s were prettier.
I think you’re the first one mentioning Pelican. Apart from the theming, would you recommend it? I’m familiar with Twig.

Oh yes, that would also be relatively important to me. Again, does Pelican offer that?
I would say I’m seeing perhaps a small wave of new users from Reddit though not nearly as big as the wave from the API changes.
Thanks for putting some perspectve on it!
time on Lemmy tends to shift people’s perspective to “fit in” more.
That sounds good; maybe my post sounded a bit pessimistic.

wow. I was wondering what these five inch tanks were. Haven’t seen one in a while.
Also spinning drives should be stored either horizntally or vertically for all their life.
Tagging is an app-only feature. Would like to see that in the browser too, though.
Yep. Tagging is an app-only feature. Would like to see that in the browser too, though.

On a static site generator? Can you link me to that please?
What about Hugo’s templating language? It’s been said to be daunting:
I’m skeptical because it seems tied to the github universe.
And here’s what other people commented about Hugo:
What do you think?
Isn’t it overkill? I’m also skeptical because it seems tied to the github universe.
And here’s what other people commented about Hugo:
Why would I choose that over my requirements? It’s not in Debian repos.
That’s usually fixable with templating. What sort of comment integration? Some third party I guess?
Interesting. Big Names.
It’s based on some js framework, right? Probably pulls in Gigabytes of dependencies.
Why would I choose that over my requirements? It’s not in Debian repos.
GNU/Guile Scheme
What is that?
Why would I choose Haunt over my requirements? It’s not in Debian repos.
Why would I choose that over my requirements? It’s not in Debian repos.
Also I seem to remember from reading the comments in other posts, that this is a GUI app? Does it even use Markdown files?
Why would I choose that over my requirements? C’mon, just throwing names isn’t enough.
What templating language does it use?
The search is nice, certainly a good thing to have in a blog. It has interesting features, most of which I’ll probably never use. No theming afaics but I’m sure that can be remedied. Your end result certainly looks nice enough.
Why would I otherwise sway from my hard requirements to use this? It is not in Debian’s repositories. However, a simulated install suggests that it has all dependencies bundled. What’s it really based on? Python I guess?
wrt With regard to all I specified, why?

I think OP is fighting windmills here. They want to keep this discussion completely theoretical, probably so they don’t have to get off their high horse, make themselves vulnerable. I doubt they’ll ever come up with anything constructive 🤷
There were these subs on reddit. I’d actually love some of that here as well; but otoh what you describe is the (dream of the) fediverse anyhow, and so far it really is a much nicer place to be than reddit, so the need is small.
That said, you can look up what these subs were called on reddit, then search for communities of the same name here.
edit: I think OP is fighting windmills here. They want to keep this discussion completely theoretical, probably so they don’t have to get off their high horse. I see this a lot with so-called centrists who turn out to be fascists, but a quick glance at OP’s posting history does not confirm that. Still, I doubt they’ll ever come up with anything constructive concerning the point of this post 🤷
Thank you! instead of the deb package or building it myself, I just downloaded the lastest from their github. It is one executable, and seems to be working fine so far. Not saying it’s my choice, but it’s easy enough for a quick test and the templating language looks very familiar.
