I think I’m just about ready to go live with my new blog (migrated from MicroPub). I just finished migrating all of the content over, fixing up metadata, cleaning up, migrating media, optimizing media.
The new blog for prologic.blog soon to be powered by zs using the zs-blog-template is coming along very nicely 👌 It was actually pretty easy to do the migration/conversation in the end. The results are not to shabby either.
Before:
- ~50MB repo
- ~267 files
After:
- ~20MB repo
- ~88 files
Pretty happy with my zs-blog-template starter kit for creating and maintaining your own blog using zs 👌 Demo of what the starter kit looks like here – Basic features include:
- Clean layout & typography
- Chroma code highlighting (aligned to your site palette)
- Accessible copy-code button
- “On this page” collapsible TOC
- RSS, sitemap, robots
- Archives, tags, tag cloud
- Draft support (hidden from lists/feeds)
- Open Graph (OG) & Twitter card meta (default image + per-post overrides)
- Ready-to-use 404 page
As well as custom routes (redirects, rewrites, etc) to support canonical URLs or redirecting old URLs as well as new zs external command capability itself that now lets you do things like:
$ zs newpost
to help kick-start the creation of a new post with all the right “stuff”™ ready to go and then pop open your $EEDITOR 🤞

@prologic@twtxt.net I can’t upload a screenshot (tried, but Yarnd simple “ate” my reply). See https://zsblog.mills.io/posts/hello-zs-blog.html. Is has no date/time on it.
I just created a zs blogging template which I’m going to use for https://prologic.blog and I might starting writing long-form again soon™ 🔜 So far the “blogging” template/engine (if you weill) is quite simple. It comprises essentially of an index.md a prehook and a few utilities:
$ git ls-files
.gitignore
.zs/config.yml
.zs/editthispage
.zs/include
.zs/layout.html
.zs/list
.zs/months
.zs/now
.zs/onthispage
.zs/posthook
.zs/postsbymonth
.zs/prehook
.zs/scripts

@prologic I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.

i got so emo about my site not being statically generated and instead hand coded but it's like i don't even know if i want that because i feel most SSGs are built for blogging and continuous posting and i don't want that i just want to make my silly pages....

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Thanks! I’ve almost come up with my own theme already 🤣 I actually don’t really want to use Hugo at all, I find it too complicated. But it is pretty popular so I thought maybe I’d rip-off a nice theme… Hmmm 🧐
Anyway, What I really normally use for a lot of my static sites is zs
