Also jekyll… 😡

[tipsy]

what's the problem with jekyll?

[orangy]

Very hard to do simple things that are not ready-made into it.

[orangy]

But easily could be me not knowing how to do stuff

[orangy]

Just takes a lot of time to refactor ktor.io website

[tipsy]

anything in particular you're having trouble with?

[orangy]

I had issues with building proper docker image for local development, then liquid syntax, then collections, etc. Nothing of particular complexity, but they add up.

[tipsy]

yeah, it can be a bit annoying to set up

Do you know hugo? It’s what we are going to use for our blog. Easy to use and a lot of themes (including for documentation). See https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-alabaster-theme/

Haha I was trying to convince cedric to make Kobalt also a static site generator. I did not like Hugo personally.

[codeslubber]

there are so many choices now..

nuxt is the most interesting new one, based on Vuejs..

I didn’t use it personally but it didn’t take much time to my colleague to build a specific design with it.

[codeslubber]

My main disappointment with it was the install was well done and easy but then OMG I spent half an hour looking at a hundred templates and they were all amateur hour crap

[codeslubber]

if you find a site built with it that looks great

[codeslubber]

for sure they didn’t use the templates from the gallery….

[gaetan]

Well my colleague is a designer and did it from scratch 😉.

[codeslubber]

that explains it 🙂
