       the new website is a complete rewrite using rust and adjacent techniques.

       32
       32
       +
       But reading time for all posts is non-significant compared to other loading times.

       ## Update

       This approach however had few issues.

     

       39
       39
       +
       As fun as it is writing your own routing logic, It feels purely unnecessary.

     

       40
       40
       +
       

     

       41
       41
       +
       Even scaling down from `axum` to `tiny_http`, it doesn't change the binary size, and because of the limited resources and location of the VPS,

     

       42
       42
       +
       it does not affect the load times.

     

       43
       43
       +
       

     

       44
       44
       +
       Short of rewriting it all in [Yew](yew.rs) and loading the wasm as a SPA (which comes with it's own complexity) loading times would not improve.

     

       45
       45
       +
       

     

       46
       46
       +
       Therefore the goal has been slightly changed.

     

       47
       47
       +
       From serving the files the goal is now using askama like a sort of static site generator.

       Not exactly. In the current state it is basically Saait again, but with extra steps.

     

       52
       52
       +
       Additional pages require source code intervention, which isn't hard, but tidious.

     

       53
       53
       +
       

     

       54
       54

       //TODO: use some enum for pages, with derive as EnumString, so new pages can be added simply by adding a template.
