Looks great! Thanks for writing this (the post and the Node app).
A couple questions for you:
RE: "Local dev workflows are nice, but it depends on how often you'd envision updating this site." do you mean something like using Jekyll to compile static HTML pages locally as a local dev workflow?
In the sample README.MD, did you add the beginning HTML with the singlemd header manually or is that generated from Markdown by the app?
I've been using Jekyll for a simple blog for my thesis writing and I like it but it seems overkill for a single page. I like the idea of the GitLab pipeline a lot vs. having to build the site and then push.
Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I had to run my local server, wait to compile, (update packages if needed), change content, commit, and push. I just wanted to change my content and push. Plus be confident that whatever markdown editor (albeit with GFM) would reflect how my page would look like.
I added that html myself. I took inspiration from bootstrap's README to center the title header. Since markdown accepts a limited amount of html I can manipulate certain positioning without having to resort to css.
Using Gitlab Pipeline has been great to automating my personal site's development flow -- since I only have to worry about my content. Hopefully Github Actions will work in a similar fashion and can extend to Github Pages.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
