Subject: A new static website built from scratch
X-Slug: a_new_static_website_built_from_scratch
This new iteration of the website is a culmination of a few months of work on
trying to simplify the stack I work on.
It builts on top of [markdown.awk](https://github.com/knazarov/markdown.awk), which is
a single-file awk-based markdown-to-html converter, and [notes.sh](https://github.com/knazarov/notes.sh)
which I use for content authoring and daily notes.
The focus for the website was minimalism: I wanted it to load quickly, to have simple and unobtrusive
design, and to play nicely with tools I use every day.
I'm not sharing the source code yet, but it's just a few scripts combined with a Makefile. The reason
I chose Makefile for building is because it can recurse into subdirectories and call conversion commands
on individual files.
Calling `make deploy` deploys the resulting html files to the virtual machine, so the whole process is
really low-friction.
