I'm blogging with Raw HTML since the beginning of this year. The biggest missing piece is probably RSS support which makes me sad. I can write a script to generate that from the list of article but I'm not sure if there's better way.

RSS is human-readable XML, so you could just manually update your RSS file every time you write a new post, in a text editor.

The moment you add an RSS script you cease to use raw HTML and start to use your own bespoke site generator. On the plus side, a personal project only changes when you intend for it to, so you don't need to worry about breakage. (Unless your scripting language breaks.)

If you're using markdown and js, in what sense are you blogging in raw HTML? Not to doubt but it feels like a qualified version of the underlying state of affairs. I blog (for work) on WordPress and hate it. I could imagine using org mode or markdown, pandoc to emit HTML with some tuning and a simple script to publish via sftp.

Perhaps this would work for you? https://feed-me-up-scotty.vincenttunru.com/ https://feed-me-up-scotty.vincenttunru.com/ It's a GitHub Action that regularly scrapes your page and checks for new entries, turning it into an RSS feed. Set up a redirect yourblog.com/feed -> you.github.io/feeds/feed.xml, then you're golden.

It's you're rawdogging your HTML then it's not that hard to rawdog RSS too. View source on this page: https://justine.lol/rss.xml https://justine.lol/rss.xml I got the template from a friend. Very easy.

If I turn off Javascript, your blog breaks in ways that shouldn't be possible if it really was HTML (specifically, links and images disappear[0]). You're not blogging in raw HTML, but markdown. Your homepage is the most 'raw HTML' page I can find on your blog, because it uses real HTML elements to display things, and doesn't even use JS or CSS.
