Static site generator + my presonnal website written in rust for some reason.

3After struggling with rewriting personnal website in a myriad of ways, all in some way unsatisfying,
4I have decided to write my own statis site generator.
5
6Heavily inspired by [Saait](https://codemadness.org/git/saait/), since that is what I have been using previously.

8To build
9```bash
10cargo build
11```
12
13and to create the website structure
14```bash
15cargo run
16```
17
18This will create the folder `output` then you can sync to your vpc, or however you serve stataic files.

21## File organization
22
23The posts are taken from `posts/` folder, are structured as markdown files, with a front matter in yaml for the date, and title of the post.
24
25
26Example:
27```markdown
28---
29title: Pantheon
30date: 2024-03-03
31---
32# WATCH PANTHEON
33
34## I DO NOT CARE WHAT DAY IT IS
35
36### HERE'S YOUR PLAN
37
381. Wake up.
392. Open whatever device you watch things on.
403. Obtain, legally or illegaly, by any means necessary, 2 (two) seasons of Pantheon, created by Craig Silverstein based on short stories by Ken Liu.
414. Binge the 2 sesons in a single night (it is feasable I checked)

43Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

46Additional pages such as `about` is also taken from there, however you could modify the about template in `templates` folder.
47[Askama](https://github.com/djc/askama) is a rendering engine based on Jinja, so it is rather straight forward to use,
48but also it can take rust `structs` to hold template context, which is very nice.

50I have not yet integrated htmx into is, for faster loads of the post body,but that's for the future (also I hate js).
