Rewrote my blog with Zine

Read Original

The author recounts 15 years of blogging, starting with Windows Phone 7 on Blogspot, then moving to Jekyll and Hugo. Frustrated with Hugo's complexity and backwards-incompatible changes, and seeking to remove 'vibe-coded' software, they rewrite their blog using Zine, a new static site generator. They discuss Zine's strengths (SuperHTML templating) and weaknesses (half-baked Scripty language, dev server crashes), noting it's alpha software. The article covers tech history, static site generators, and personal reflections on blogging evolution.
