static website generation with githooks and markdown
why?
previously my website was hosted on GitHub pages using Jekyll. I found this to be really cumbersome to use, hated relying on themes and hated the slew of dependencies needed to get it working.
I'm using discount to generate the markdown for the pages, until I roll my own markdown implementation. I don't like using that either, but it beats Jekyll
