if you need more than that for a static blog (like Gatsby/NextJS) i’d consider you unreasonable
- pdimitar 4y agoLast time I tried Zola (about a year ago) it was not very clear how do you use and manage themes (GIT downloads in a sub-directory IIRC) and it was way too flexible for its own good IMO. What I mean is that you can determine directories and sub-directories for everything by yourself (I think?). In general I liked Zola but I found it hard to work with. I really wanted to set a few metadata fields, pick and apply a theme, put a few meta-pages (like blog index), write 3 articles and be done with it. And it didn't serve me well for that. Have you considered writing a guide for how did you setup your Zola blog? I'd read and try it.
- ushakov 4y agoZola isn’t a blog engine per se, but a static side generator with markdown for content management in Zola terms theme really means a pre-built site that said, i don’t have a guide, but i have made a sleek template for Zola (link above) which anybody can use in minutes and deploy on Netlify from GitHub the template is a blog with projects section, although it can be extended to add every section imaginable the price for the theme is significantly lower than the hours you need to put in to build a similar one from scratch (sorry for ad)
