So, I've been working on my own static site generator called picopaper. I've added the key functions I needed to use it for ITTavern and I think picopaper is ready for that task!

Motivation #

I like to code stuff I use and a static stie generator has been on that list for a while. Don't get me wrong, Hugo is amazing and I'd happpy to use it again, esp. for larger more complex projects, but it felt like overkill for a small blog. From what understood, Hugo changed some templating which would require me to update my theme and templating and believe me, I hate it. That made the decision to work on my own project even easier.

With my own project, I can only add the features I need - which keeps it simple and easy to understand and modify - exactly what I like.

What changed? #

There are still minor things I have to change, but a man can only do so much frontend work before ending it all.

• design, simple and good denough - I really hate working on frontend
• RSS feed included only headers at the moment - migth change it again
• /notes/ section is missing - planned to remove it anyway, so I took my chance
• tags have been replaced with 'feeds', which is more or less categories - might have to change the name of 'feeds'

And maybe some other things I have not thought about!

Please ... #

... let me know if something is not working or missing! Would appreciate it!
