I created https://neat.joeldare.com https://neat.joeldare.com as a micro css "framework". Check it out. I've also been experimenting with just using md files on GitHub, which is very easy to write and publish. https://github.com/codazoda/markdown-test https://github.com/codazoda/markdown-test

wow, I love your solution using github even if you want to migrate of github down the line its still all Jekyll +plugins underneath Do you know if there is a way to have an automatic directory index page? (i looked around the gitubpages/Jekyll docs but couldn't find a way at first glance) i.e. What I mean is I would like to throw a bunch of md files into a folder and have a url that outputs the hyperlinked dir listing

  One way would be to use the Github API to retrieve all the filenames: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25022016/get-all-file-names-from-a-github-repo-through-the-github-api#25023044 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25022016/get-all-file-na... Then use Javascript to create the index page.

    thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for a "zero code" solution like parent. i.e. it would use some Jekyll feature that is running behind the scenes meanwhile after some googling this may be it (not tested though) https://cl.mt/blog/github-pages-indexing-directory https://cl.mt/blog/github-pages-indexing-directory

You can do something "similar" with archive.org (With automatic directory listings) Suppose you want a really long lived store for your plain text or html files (archive.org is unlikely to go away anytime soon) 1) create an account on archive.org 2) upload your folders of files as an Archive.org item (works best if you upload with a root folder included so that the archive.org meta files get created outside of your first level documents folder) Your index listing will live under a url like: https://archive.org/download/test_blog_2020/test/ https://archive.org/download/test_blog_2020/test/ (or even sub-folders like: https://archive.org/download/test_blog_2020/test/blog/ https://archive.org/download/test_blog_2020/test/blog/) (note that "test_blog_2020" here is a global unique identifier you can customize when you first upload to archive.org. as long as it is available of course) Each file will have its own url like: https://ia601506.us.archive.org/4/items/test_blog_2020/test/blog/post1.htm https://ia601506.us.archive.org/4/items/test_blog_2020/test/... (which means you can use relative links in your html and they will just work) And you can use the "Edit" functionality to add more files to your folders: via a url like this: https://archive.org/edit.php?edit-files=1&identifier=test_blog_2020 https://archive.org/edit.php?edit-files=1&identifier=test_bl...
