Are you me? That is almost exactly what I did, even including the part about tufte.css and syntax highlighting.
I ended up exporting all of my old blog posts from WordPress. Rebuilding the entire site (~370 pages) takes about 4 seconds.
The biggest problem I found was that I had to modify tufte.css to make it work well on mobile.
Care to post your site?

- noir_lord 6y agoGreat minds, my site is on my real name and I'd rather not connect my user name with my handle so publicly, it's got nowhere near the amount of content yours has though. In my case there is a certain irony in writing it in Python the lazy way since I'm a full stack dev who writes typescript, js and PHP for work. Never trust a builder with a finished house I guess applies, I didn't want anything I'd have to maintain.
- yobananaboy 6y agoI really like the margin notes layout of your site! Might have to steal that. edit: oh wait that's what the Tufte css is! What tweaks did you end up making?
- AndrewStephens 6y agoIt might have changed recently, but tufte.css used to behave badly in portrait (say on a mobile phone, or just with a narrow browser window.) Part of the problem is just the design works a lot better in landscape. It took me a lot of fiddling before I managed to find an acceptable compromise. If I was going to start again I might consider implementing the margin notes differently. They interact oddly with each other and image captions.
- bradley_taunt 6y agoNot to be annoying and plug my own projects, but I've tweaked Tufte CSS to work within a jekyll theme: https://et-jekyll.netlify.app/ https://et-jekyll.netlify.app/
