A new Blog this time on github and statically generated
It has been a long time since I last did a blog the biggest reason behind were:
- it’s hard to maintain a server and a blog platform
- most common web plateforms are blocked in China
- the other plateforms does not fit my geeky needs
- non-self hosted platform make it hard to have easy backup of your data
So here we are, after reading comments on HackerNews I’ve found the project Hugo which permits you to create a static blog the advantages I see to it
- it’s all command line and simple to install
- vim and markdown friendly, posting is just one more markdown file
- can be hosted on github (which solve the hosting problem)
- it’s text files and git (which solve the backup problem)
