Hello Quarto
incorporating Quarto into my Hugo site workflow

Testing My Static Site with Vitest
I'll start with frontmatter schema and markdownlint
Elf Sternberg on how SSG is not a reaction
Elf Sternberg, Static site generation is not a ‘reaction’ to client-site rendering
It was literally the first thing we did.
Strong agree. I’ve heard variations on static site generators being something invented after SPAs turned out to be a less than universal solution. Sounds like Elf’s start was with Muse — an Emacs tool that I heard of but never played with.
I showed up onto the Internet a few years later, so I had a few site-generating frameworks to choose from. WebMake built my site for a couple years. What was that other one? Oh that’s right! Engelschall’s WML! That was fun too.
Hugo Render Hooks for Titled Code Blocks
Captions more than titles, really. No problem. We'll fix it in post.
I Talked About My Site on Test & Code in Python
In the latest episode of the Test & Code podcast, Brian Okken — host and author of the excellent Python Testing with pytest — and I talked about the little joys of running your own Web site.
Thinking about Hugo again but maybe with Site.js
Goodness I may dislike that templating language, but it’s hard to match anything against Hugo’s 700ms average build time on a cleaned-up version of my site.
But I’m having fun with the JavaScript too. Maybe I’ll mash them both together by using Site.js, which supports Hugo under the hood for fancier static sites.
Processing Sass in Eleventy
Specifically, building `main.scss` when `_base.scss` changes
Starting 2022 With Eleventy
It's not done, but it's done enough
Finally ported enough of my site to Eleventy that I feel like making it live. It’s only been two and a half years since I started thinking about this. Why rush into things, right?
But why?
Well, Eleventy’s got Nunjucks support, for starters. For the Pythonistas out there, Nunjucks is basically Jinja for JavaScript.
Beyond that, the Node.js ecosystem is pretty lively, with plenty to keep the dedicated SSG putterer occupied for a bit. Eleventy can hook into enough of that without going overboard on the Jamstack application side of things. A gentle transition.
