Lästid: 1 minut(er)Yet Another Static Site Generator
I recently released my very own static site generator! For the time being simply called ssg. It supports pages, templates, entries, and static files. But its "selling point" is its widget system.
A widget is reference to a (small) code fragment which can be referenced from a pages source code, for example:
Contact me at [[mailto:hugo@example.com]].Would expand through the following widget
(define (widget address)
(delay
`(a (@ (href "mailto:" ,address)) ,address)))Which eventually would resolve into
Contact me at <a href="mailto:hugo@example.com">hugo@example.com</a>.It remains to see if rolling your own site generator is a good idea, or if I should take time to actually learn some existing ones. This blog switching to SSG would be a good indicator that I at least believe a bit in it.
