I want to create one of those developer blogs that programmers use to rant about stuff and to talk about the development of their products. Ranting, talking about issues with technologies and frameworks, talking about workarounds, shit like that. I don't want it to look fancy because, well, it's not supposed to be. I'd like to keep it minimal, in a non fancy way. Absolutely no parallax scrolling, and stuff like that. What technology should I use? Wordpress? Medium? Something older like Joomla or Drupal? I can't afford to spend too much time on the creation and management, I just want to rant about shit online.
In the picture there's a site with a style I consider cool.
If you look at the bottom of their page, you'll see that they use werc. So just set that up on a HTTP server that supports CGI and do whatever you want.

Static html generated from markdown.
Owen Wilson
You mean like jekyll?
Carter Peterson
No
Ian Gonzalez
We don't need another edgy programmer with his Neanderthal thoughts thanks
Adam Roberts
search suckless archives for "ssg - static site generator"

Just use the same werc, the same one suckless or cat-v uses. werc.cat-v.org/
Charles Sanchez
You can set up static site generator on git{hub,lab} pages and optionally put client-side JS (e.g. MathJax), Google Analytics and Disqus (for comments) there to have it somewhat dynamic, all for free. Although Medium and similar blog portals might give you some advertisement. I personally find Medium website disgusting and hard to read/use.
Daniel Richardson
Jekyll + nginx

I guess Medium would be the easiest option, but they have a theme with a useless big-ass font that makes it uncomfortable to read. Also it's a JavaScript mess.
Aaron Turner
is there a static site generator that looks like a gopher interface?
Robert Thompson
I remember one ssg that was written in rc script. That's probably what suckless used.

>Static html generated from markdown >not static html generated from org-mode markup and published on the site without leaving emacs
Cooper Williams
Use a makefile
Jackson Lopez
OP this but you can also consider hosting it as a static site in S3.
Matthew Cook
Why not just use something like pygopherd and host a dev "phlog" that is also accessible over HTTP like pic related?
Your gopher server will also speak HTTP, so anyone connecting with a web browser gets an HTML version, the style of which I assume is what means by a "gopher interface".

>looks like
Jonathan Jones
It does. It just also happens to include an actual gopher server too.
Noah Peterson
>include an actual gopher server too. unneeded bloat
Josiah Anderson
Just don't include an index.html, your HTTP server probably has an automatic directory listing that is pretty much what a gopher menu is in terms of presentation.
Zachary Gutierrez
Jekyll + GitHub pages, free homie
Levi Wood
literally just werc on the same site, it's piss easy to set up werc.cat-v.org
