I broke into double digit stars on my new python static site generator.

WaylonWalker / markata

plugins all the way down static site generator

Markdown and Data, plugins all the way down

Example

Here is markata creating my personal site of several hundred pages in ~16s.

Here is markata doing a near instant with a fresh cache.

I am still learning what this will be. Code is completely in develop branch and likely to change significantly.

Motivation

I want a simple static site generator built off of plugins that are super easy to create, and intuitive to use. I want to create content in markdown and not have to put much thought into seo meta tags or generating og images. The final site should be lightweight, and not weighed down heavily with MB's of unused css/js.

⚡ Fast enough site generation

🔌 Pluggable

🧠 Intuitive

🐍 Familiar language

🖼 OG:image out of the box

🎯 SEO out of the box

Just finished my first React Native apps. 2 years working as FE, especially React, my project manager decided to moves me into mobile division. So many things to learn. Can't wait to publish new apps improvements!

The MicroPython folks got a tricky issue with Neopixels on ESP32-C3 resolved, and I built a blog post around it, which I think will kick off a short series.

I also made my first contribution to CircuitPython (a PR to improve the ESP32 documentation), which I'm excited about.

Also, I volunteered to help with some of the tags and topics here on DEV 😃

Oh, and I had a pretty great and productive 4-day week at work!
