Side project update: launched a small tool I've been working on for the past few weeks. It watches a directory of markdown files and auto-generates a static site with no configuration. No themes to configure, no plugins to install, just drop markdown in and get a fast site out.
Built it in Go. The motivation was that every static site generator I tried was either too opinionated about structure or had too many moving parts for a simple blog. This one has about 400 lines of code and does exactly what I need.
Not planning to make it a public project - too many competitors in this space - but it's been a good exercise in writing Go that's actually used daily rather than just learned.
