Basically the .plan file revived (: [1] John Carmack was well-known for keeping his development notes and other thoughts in a .plan file[2][3] Aside: it saddens me a little how the simple idea of copying files onto a server is so many steps removed from modern "web framework" behemoths. I think some people genuinely don't know about the simpler older ways, and the pros and cons between them.

Yep, 99% of markdown is basically a title on the first line, body in the rest.

I use org mode files, a small build script and git. The build system just invokes emacs and compiles org documents to HTML, and installs them in /var/www/${site}. I have a git update hook on the server that invokes the build script when I push updates. Originally I did just rsync over HTML files though, but I like the new setup a lot.
