I'm toying with making and releasing an #11ty template based on the fromjason.xyz structure. What do y'all think?

I asked you what you use for comment management last month. Today, I'm bringing some changes to how I manage comments on my own blog. Read about it here and let me know what you think: https://ilyess.cc/posts/why-im-adding-native-comments-to-my-blog/
Thanks!
If you have a blog, what do you use for comment management?
Glad that #StaticQuest could be renewed this year! Thanks to all the members of the web ring.

"forgejo" comes from the Esperanto word "forĝejo".
"retejo" is (also) an Esperanto word.
The meaning of the Esperanto word "retejo" can be understood as follows:
ret-: The root for "net" or "web".
-ej-: A suffix meaning "place" or "site".
-o: The noun ending.
Codeberg.orgretejoretejo provides an HTTP web-site for one forgejo users. A popular forgejo instance server is codeberg. Thus, retejo works with codeberg.You can think of this as an alternative to Codeberg Pages and GitHub Pages.

The way the name "retejo" was chosen was inspired by how the name "forgejo" chosen.

So, I thought — what if I just ran my own web-server to server files from Codeberg.
And thus, Retejo was born.

But, while I am at it, I can also add automatic ActivityPub / ActivityStreams support to it.

№1:
The software powering Codeberg Pages seems like it isn't being maintained anymore beyond minor fixes
№2:
Although Codeberg is pretty reliable, Codeberg Pages doesn't that reliable.

Another motivation for creating Retejo is this:
https://mastodon.social/@reiver/114076598430655105
I want to be able to write long-form articles using whatever text-editor I choose to use, editing a file, and using git.
Not everyone will want to create long-form content this way — but I want to create long-form content this way.

Codeberg has something similar to GitHub Pages — called Codeberg Pages

Retejo pulls its data from a Forgejo / Gitea site — such as Codeberg.
That means I can write things using whatever text-editor I want by editing a file.
And then push that file to Codeberg — or any other Forgejo / Gitea site — using git
And then, it automatically shows up on my Retejo site

I kept that type of user in mind when designing Retejo —
That some people want to write in Markdown rather than HTML.
So, Retejo has native support for Markdown.
And, in particular, CommonMark with the GitHub Flavored Markdown (GTM) extensions that most people expect nowadays.

One thing I noticed about the Gemini-Protocol community is that —
Some of the people who are attracted to Gemini are attracted to it, because — they want a Web that was based on Markdown instead of HTML.
And, the Gemini-Protocol + gemtext seemed close to being a Markdown-based Web.

Not everyone who is attracted to gemini-protocol or gemtext is this type of person.
But I've talked to enough of these types of people that I know they are definitely out there.

One of my other passions, in addition to the Fediverse and Social Web, is — small-net.
One of the popular protocols in small-net is — the Gemini-Protocol.

I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.
I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.
...
What is different about this web-server for static web-sites‽
Well, of course, it supports HTML.
But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!

Has anyone already made their Hugo blog available to the fediverse?
Any experience so far?
"Using the Fediverse to Add Comments to a Static Website"
https://sinodun.com/post/using-the-fediverse-to-add-comments-to-a-static-website/
sinodun.comUsing the Fediverse to Add Comments to a Static WebsiteSince I migrated this website to HUGO I have been searching for an elegant way to allow comments on our blog posts. I looked at most solutions given in the Hugo Documentation. They all seemed overly complex and involved third party services. So I started thinking if it would be possible to use statuses on Mastodon. It turns out I was not alone and this has been done before several times.
Are people even using something else than YAML front matter in their Markdown (or whatever) files?
Apparently there are SSGs that support HTML <meta> tag front matter, and if you're using ReStructured Text it probably does its own thing. And I bet there's at least one person on the planet building their website from ASN.1 files.
What are _you_ using?
Morning!
Need some #Frontend input.
I have a client who wants a basic site.
He is agnostic about the tech.
But he does need
- A section that is passworded (that can be shared with credentials to contacts)
I want to use 11ty with Notion (or similar CMS). And do the password stuff with some auth (pretty new to me).
He is a photographer and has some images of drug use/abuse. So I was slightly cautious about putting images that could potentially violate a platforms TOS even if they are only ever served to pages that are behind a passworded folder.
We can happily go down the Wordpress route. My preference would be to avoid that, but at least he would have ownership of the DB.
Any thoughts? Insights?
TIA
Looking for CMS advice
Hey Web devs!
Do you have any suggestions, tips, opinions, dos, don’ts about headless CMSes?
I have a growing list of small/mid non-profits and collectives asking for my help to (re)make their website. I totally want to help, but I don’t have much time, especially considering that they generally have little or no funding—I would most definitely point them to @VillageOneCoop, otherwise.
Therefore, I want a super simple and replicable solution where I can copy-paste most of the code, while providing them with a stable, fast, and modern solution. I had a look at the Headless CMS section in the Jamstack website, but I need opinions from people who actually used some of that software already.
Needs
- I want to code and configure everything using @eleventy
- Admin interface (#WebApp) for the client to add pages and write posts
- Static website in the front-end
- Simple and reliable CI/CD
- No/minimal maintenance after the first setup
- Self-hostable (I was taking this for granted so much that I forgot to write it)
- If it requires forge integration, it should support #ForgeJo
- #OpenSource
Nice to have
- Possibly using #Deno, not #NodeJS
- Allowing the client to customize a bit their website through the admin interface, with a GUI
- CMS app packaged on @yunohost
- No CMS vendor lock-in
- I’d love to write as little JavaScript as possible
- #FreeSoftware
Absolutely not
- Front-end #JavaScript frameworks
Please, boost this and ask around! Links to videos, tutorials, and resources are welcome.
People whose perspective I would really value: @zachleat @harryfk @deno_land @jaredwhite @vanillaweb @stefan @mxbck @WeirdWriter @deadsuperhero (Sorry if I am spamming you!)
