Shite: The little hot-reloadin' static site generator from shell (github.com)

Awesome branding. I would switch to this from Jekyll but I don’t use org. Why is the hot reloading an issue? Would running something like watch.rb on the project folder count as cheating?

Ah! I was wondering about the spike in github stars.

Project author here. AMA!

My site https://www.evalapply.org continues to be built with shite. Public commits are absent, but the project is still working as-designed, and I couldn't thank past-me enough for putting in the work!

I've been working off a private fork, since the last-published code change ~2 years ago, because I wanted to work on drafts of essays and mostly half-ass meanderings that only I want to ruminate on.

Apart from those unpublished raw org-mode sources, I've made a bunch of HTML template changes and quality-of-life code improvements. But shite is still chugging along as-designed.

I guess this is sign I should push those updates to the public domain.

Previously on HN (I did a "Show HN" for kicks, and it blew up a bit :)
