• Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI

  Https://github.com/haplo/pelican-theme-reflex — My Pelican [1] theme. While I started it before LLMs were a thing, I was recently able to tackle all my open TODO items with AI. https://github.com/haplo/pelican-copy-code — A Pelican [1] plugin to add a Copy button to all source code blocks.

• Jeffgeerling.com has been Migrated to Hugo

  What's the temperature on Pelican [https://getpelican.com] these days? Best Python SSG is mostly down to Hugo and Pelican as far as I can tell. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• I Keep Blogging with Emacs

  Heh. I write my blog posts in org mode, and have a way to get Pelican[1] to read them. It doesn't support executing Babel source blocks on export - I should probably add that feature to my package.[2] [1]https://getpelican.com/ [2]https://blog.nawaz.org/posts/2022/Dec/reintroducing-opel-put-all-your-pelican-posts-in-one-org-file/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• How I stopped worrying and loved Makefiles

  This Makefile is actually an extension of one dedicated Pelican static page generator. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• WordPress Is in Trouble

  Instead of a wiki, why not a static site generator. I have used Pelican[1] for over a decade. Strongly recommend if you know Python. You don't need to know Python, but in the off chance that one day in the future you want to write your own plugin... [1] https://getpelican.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Best Minimal Blog Site?

  Https://gohugo.io/ It's written in go but what's great about it, unlike many competitors written in Javascript or Python, is that it is just a simple binary you download and run, you do not need to get a PhD in the go build system to start a web site also it is crazy fast. It can publish a site to something like S3 or Azure Storage behind a CDN and you do not have to worry about anything other than paying the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Qwen2.5-Coder-32B is an LLM that can code well that runs on my Mac

  Not really tried the Claude 3.5, later tried o1-preview on github models and recently Qwen2.5 32B for a prompt to generate a litestar[0] app to manage a wysiwyg content using grapesjs[1] and use pelican[2] to generate static site. It generated very bad code and invented many libraries in import which didn't exist. Cluade was one of the worst code generator, later tried sieve of atkin to generate primes to N and... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

  Do you have any links? I've recently been using Pelican[0] to create static sites using Python, but always looking for simpler solutions. [0] https://getpelican.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Writing HTML by hand is easier than debugging your static site generator

  As the maintainer of the Python-based Pelican static site generator for over a decade, I can say with confidence that my experience has been nothing like what is described in this article. Most of Pelican’s code was written by other people, and yet I have spent almost zero time debugging that code, much less my own. After taking advantage of Pelican’s rich plugin ecosystem and adding a handful of useful plugins, I... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Best way for a Markdown based blog and eBook?

  Most static site generators will work to create a blog. I use pelican [1], which serves my needs. You will likely need to edit your blogposts a little bit before putting them in the book. So I recommend a separate program for that altogether. [1] https://getpelican.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Patterns for Personal Web Sites

  In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator. There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• How to host final project (flask web application) on permanent server?

  There's also Pelican but I haven't used it and seeing as Github serves static pages I'd imagine it builds and deploys your page and is done with it. Source: over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: Which Python or Rust-based static site generators to use as of 2023?

  I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python. But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Creating a Python Wiki application

  Surely a "local private wiki ... Not web based ... On a desktop application" is not really a "wiki" at all, but rather a "static site generator" with a built-in "search". If that's what you want, there's a Python app called Pelican. Writing such an app from scratch isn't really a beginners project. Source: over 3 years ago

• 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: over 3 years ago

• Over 280,000 WordPress Sites Attacked Using WPGateway Plugin Zero-Day Vulnerability

  My own blog and portfolio site is hosted on github pages. Since I'm knowledgeable with web development, I use a static site generator, it's a software which generates your site pages for you on the fly based on pre-determined html/css structure and markdown posts. The setup exists in a single folder and all you have to do is push the generated html files to a github repo and the content becomes live on site! It's... Source: almost 4 years ago
