Content aside. I never saw a blog article, so carefully typeset as this one:
- Font choices and sizes
- TOC
- Figures
- Code samples
... all look perfect. It even includes a carefully spaced initial.
I'd love to be able to replicate this on my Jekyll blog. But looks like most of this is hand-crafted HTML/CSS: https://github.com/brandur/sorg https://github.com/brandur/sorg

- mikeatlas 9y agoIs static page generation performance really a thing for you?
- striking 9y agoIt is really nice to be able to see your changes reflected "instantly" rather than having to "wait for a compile". Iteration is great!
- geeio 9y agoTime to install is much faster, bundle install is just so damn slow. And now that I'm not a ruby dev any more, I don't install a modern ruby on my computer.
- devonkim 9y agoFaster page generation makes novel use cases like generating websites to be stored in cloud object storage with function calls actually possible and potentially much cheaper than a CMS like Wordpress. I'm sure there's some CMS POCs out there like that but the landscape is so chock full of plugins and really nontechnical users I can't really see it taking off.
- sandGorgon 9y agohere's the thing - i think the definition of fast is in two different dimensions and both of them count. One is the generation: i actually run my startup's website on Hugo. There are quite a few pages - including landing pages - and jekll was sloooow. Second, we have marketing people on windows + mac, dev people on linux. The time taken for someone to setup Hugo on their laptops is 5 minutes: its a single binary. Jekyll - upwards of 30 minutes after fighting ruby and setting %PATH% variables in windows.
