smolblog

The tiniest site generator I could think of.

The Idea

A static site generator that is driven from a JSON file instead of a database. The templates are rendered using Go's stdlib templates, which some people don't like, but is entirely flexible and requires no external dependency. The hiearchy of args passed to a template is rather flat, so nothing too obscure can be done: arguments are a single level map, and pages are a single level array.

Most of the binary is a wrapper around existing Go functionality, but the idea is that if you can produce the JSON, this can do the rest.

Reuseable Templates

Static Assets

TODO's

• MVP that renders my existing site (jamesholdren.com)
• Status bar or something
• [-] Support for static assets (copy from one spot to another)
• [-] Post processors? (Support for CSS/JS minification)
• Helper functions
