MiddleMan VS API Bakery

Most of the Static Site Generators default to generating blog from markdown, which is not feasible for company websites etc. For such projects I like Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com) which provides layouts/partials and things like haml templates. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I've done similar with Middleman, and I'm 99% sure you could set this up with Pelican if you wanted. It sounds like the site generation workflow is the issue rather than the tool. Source: 11 months ago

I use middleman[^1] + bulmaCSS + FontAwesome but host on github using the `github.io` domain and upload podcasts to "archive.org"[^2]. The reason I choose this setup is because I want the content to survive as much as possible, hence open source technology and "free & long lived" hosting were requirements.

Thanks u/Draegan88, but what's Middleman got to do with app architecture & design/ERD/schema design? Source: over 1 year ago

A simple middleman app consumes the data and builds a static export that runs standalone (just HTML, CSS and some JS files). That gets FTP'd/released to the webserver. Source: about 2 years ago

If you understand all that and just want to get started as quickly as possible, use a project generator such as cookiecutter-django or API Bakery. Note that I'd avoid using these until you have a solid grasp of Django otherwise you'll have no idea what's going on. Source: 11 months ago

My project generator does basically exactly this - determine how your data looks, set up a project and build out CRUD, then you can go do fun stuff. Source: 11 months ago

> relocating them will actually break things Yes, absolute paths are hardcoded in several places. I actually have a use case for copying/relocating them (for https://apibakery.com), and simple search/replace of paths across the entire venv works, but I wouldn't recommend that as a best practice approach :-). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Use a project generator like https://apibakery.com (disclosure, I'm the author). Source: about 1 year ago

Not op, but I have a similar project which does handle auth and a few other extra goodies like bg workers and dev shell: https://apibakery.com It uses a bearer token instead of JWT tho, for reasons outlined here: https://apibakery.com/blog/tech/no-jwt/ (HN discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33019960). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
