Also, I don't want to dump on this dude but I've authored literally hundreds of entries on my 2 blogs since 2019 using Markdown. I doubt I'd ever bother to write that many using plain HTML.
- omoikane 3y agoI think what the author is arguing for is not so much about writing in pure HTML, but the fact the levels of indirections added by most existing site-generating frameworks restricts them from doing something that would have been possible with just pure HTML. This second article seem to argue for owning your own site generator that is a thin wrapper around HTML, to deal with more dynamic content while maintaining flexibility. I have being doing the same for my website since ~20 years ago, where my input is mostly pure HTML, and I generate static HTML pages from those with a few scripts. My website does look rather antiquated, but I consider that a feature.
