brigid 0.8.2
Brigid
A simple blog engine, but not simpler than it should be.
Demo
My blog: tiendil.org — look there to see all the features in action.
Sources of the blog: https://github.com/Tiendil/tiendil-org-content — look there to see how content is organized.
Or run from the root of the repository:
poetry install
./bin/dev-server.sh
Features
Markdown as a source code for articles.
Multi-language support by design.
Mobile-friendly.
SEO-friendly.
No cookies.
Monolithic design: install and run. No need to look for plugins and themes.
Some specific features
Brigid is not a static site generator, i.e. you should run brigid process to access the site. It gives some advantages over classic static site generators.
Redirects.
Nice tags filtering (for wide pages only, for now).
Detect language by headers.
Sentry reporting.
More features are coming.
Design principles
A very subjective list of design principles I follow in this project:
One solid, stable, simple, up-to-date solution. Just install and run.
Markdown won => use markdown as the primary source for posts.
TOML won => use TOML for metadata and frontmatter instead of YAML.
No unnecessary or unused features.
Design for not trivial posts: long, multilanguage, images, code, etc.
Server-side rendering is good. Use it as the primary approach.
Use minimum JS only when it is really required.
No CSS experiments, only stable verified solutions.
For personal and professional use. You cannot resell or redistribute these repositories in their original state.
There are no reviews.
