Hedgeblog
My personal blog, because what the world needs is yet another semi-abandoned blog.
Technical Goals
- Completely rewrite the blog, and get it working
- Be able to be served statically (so it can be deployed on Github Pages or Cloudflare Pages for no dinero)
- No dependencies - or basically, I want to write every line of code
- No Javascript served to client - the web pages should be pure HTML and CSS
Non-Technical Goals
- Make two things I can call "Ryuji" and "Saki" to go along with "Makoto" (those are the three main characters of one of the best manga series ever)
- Move over some of the old blog posts (only the stuff I like), after rewriting them
- Start writing stuff on the blog again, at least semi-regularly
Makoto
Makoto is the markdown-to-html parser, made with no dependencies. It was made around two months before Ryuji and Saki, and is meant to be more of a standalone thing. This is the sole npm dependency of the project (because I published makoto to npm and wanted to make sure it worked).
It also has a very cool warnings feature, that isn't used in this project, but can be seen in action if you use the Makoto Web Editor.
Ryuji
Ryuji is a simple templating system. It's Jinja/Nunjucks inspired but has less features. On the upside, Ryuji is around 200 lines of code and supports if statements, for loops, components and inserting variables.
I didn't write any docs for it, but you can see the syntax if you look in the templates directory or look in tests.ts.
Saki
Saki is the build system that puts it all together and outputs the blog's static html. Even more simple than Ryuji, it is just around 70 lines of code.
