title: A first entry

This is the first entry of this blog.
|
||
|
|
I've been meaning to make one for the longest time but never got around to
|
||
|
|
actually write stuff down. After bike-shedding endlessly about which static-site
|
||
|
|
generator would be best for the task at end, and trying to build my own in
|
||
|
|
Haskell with no specification in mind, I finally settled on a minimal setup to
|
||
|
|
get this out of the way. Yes, it is *very* limited. But it does work for now, is
|
||
|
|
not bloated and easy to customize.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every page is generated with `pandoc`_, and a tiny Makefile takes care of
|
||
|
|
dependency tracking and incremental builds. I also use `jq`_ to transform pandoc
|
||
|
|
metadata. Ultimately I would prefer something leaner than pandoc but
|
||
|
|
this is for later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Till next time.

**2020/06/05:**

|
Of course I was going to ditch my janky setup at some point.
|
||
|
|
It happened sooner than expected but I'm trying to convince myself that the first
|
||
|
|
version allowed me to identity exactly what I need from my static site
|
||
|
|
generator. I am now using a slightly modified version of `Hakyll`_.
|
||
|
|
Here's to hoping I'll manage to craft the perfect workflow™ from it.

Hm, the move to `Hakyll`_ wasn't for long. I was fed up with how complicated
|
||
|
|
it is, while still being very limiting. So I started to work on a new project
|
||
|
|
called **achille**. You can find the `WIP documentation here </projects/achille/>`_.
|
||
|
|
My site is already built with it and so far it's really neat!
