@benaiah@benaiah.me sounds a lot like why many years ago, I went with Drupal for a simple Blogging site vs Wordpress. WP was easier but Drupal allowed me as an admin to not have any filters. Which allowed me to put raw HTML in the posts to control certian that I was doing at the time
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org I could probably put something together, but I went this route originally because existing generators felt like they took too much control from me over the exact output. I want very small, static pages I can throw behind nginx, and I want to know exactly what the contents are. My current mess of spaghetti Racket is getting hairy since I’m halfway through an unfinished rewrite I started a while ago and forgot about, but at least I know exactly what it’s doing.
I’m trying to decide whether soldiering on with the messy codebase of my homegrown site generator is worth it or if I should redo my site in a more established tool.
@leveck@leveck.us welcome to twtxt!
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org I take a look, it should work with every posix compliant awk, so at least oawk, nawk and gawk should run. What’s the error message? Feel free to add an issue.

@tdemin@tdemin.github.io good points, though another that I’ve noticed is that it’s difficult to tell who in your network is actually reachable with your tweets. My HTTPS cert went unupdated for a brief while and now I have no idea who is still following me since I got it working again, so it’s difficult to tell where I can really have a conversation. A centralized service can tell who’s following who, but that’s basically impossible in twtxt.
