• Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll

  You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola. Source: about 1 year ago

• I'm building a personal website. Should I bother doing it in Python or just use a template?

  I tend to prefer static site generators for this kind of use case. I use Nikola, which is written in and based on Python. You should be able to pick whatever html5up template you like and turn it into a Nikola template, too. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How to build a light weight personal blog?

  I switched to Nikola recently: https://getnikola.com/ Reads every kind of plaintext format, but will also just publish a Jupyter notebook which means you can do drag and drop image and graph inlining which makes everything so much simpler (and thus makes me more likely to keep it up). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Emacs markdown export

  I know you say you're comfortable with your workflow, but just wanted to throw out that if you're not dependent on Jekyll, and are simply looking for the best way to create a static site/blog from org-mode files, you could consider Nikola as an alternative. It has an excellent org-mode plugin which would likely solve your complication. Source: over 2 years ago

  I also know that there is also Python-based Lektor [2], however I found Nikola more intriguing than this one. [0] https://getnikola.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
