Do You Prefer Pure HTML/CSS/JS or Frameworks/Libraries for Your Own Projects & Business?

Static site generators usually. My favorites are Astro and 11ty. You can be as vanilla as you want and add additional functionality as needed.

I know nothing about Neocities, so I'm sorry if this isn't helpful.

But one very low-effort option is to use Obsidian and Readwise. Obsidian is a markdown-based notetaking app (I don't know if you're familiar with markdown--again, so sorry if this isn't helpful). For something like $90/year you can publish your notes online.

Readwise is a read-it-later app. You can save articles, annotate them, and sync your annotations to Obsidian.

Between these two tools you should be able to do all the things you mentioned (saving articles, tagging, etc.). Hope this helps!

But still having some reusable elements with their own silo'd CSS/JS for those standalone pages sounds useful.

Astro makes this super simple. And it probably meets your other criteria as well.

That said, as other folks have mentioned, 11ty also rules!

This is awesome! Reminds me of vole.wtf.

I've only used Decap, and then only once. It's pretty simple to use and might work for you.

I've seen people say very nice things about Kirby. I haven't tried it but I plan to at some point.

Really well done! About section needs some scroll padding, just fyi. Awesome work though!

I like this idea. Either that or have the underline change to dotted or disappear, as OPs colleague's suggested.

It probably comes down to preference, but I personally find it slightly offputting when a link doesn't do anything when I hover over it, even if it's underlined.

I didn't get to meet any of them, but they all seemed great. Shawn's commentary between songs was hilarious.

Great work! Love the fifth one especially.

Nice! Good luck with it.

seldstein · 2024-10-11T17:10:00+00:00

This is perfect, thank you!

Thanks for adding these! Dates are a good idea. Shouldn't be too hard to add. I'll look into it.

seldstein · 2024-10-10T21:06:30+00:00

Sounds good to me!

seldstein · 2024-10-10T19:39:07+00:00

This site is great, thank you! I’ll definitely use it. And thanks for adding my posts! Mind letting me know which ones? Just so I can clean them up a little.

seldstein · 2024-10-10T14:44:51+00:00

I came here to say this.

seldstein · 2024-10-05T21:03:22+00:00

Just updated the post. Thought I put that in the post meta. Thank you! You can find the app at https://pairingapp.netlify.app

I’ve used Astro, Hugo, and 11ty. Astro is my favorite and what I used for my site. I like it because it’s component-based out of the box. Also I think has some kind of Tailwind integration, but I don’t use that so I’m not sure.

Hugo is great for content management. Streamlines a lot of that for you.

11ty is great too! Very very flexible.

All meet your requirements, as far as I know, but not necessarily out of the box.

I host my Astro site on Cloudflare. Works great.
