Guile, what is its status ? Can you give some information (the web site is in latin ;) )
Ok I didnât see the menu and was hitting (on phone) http://guillep.github.io/ecstatic/getting_started.html <http://guillep.github.io/ecstatic/getting_started.html> (you should remove this link ;-) ). http://guillep.github.io/ecstatic/install.html <http://guillep.github.io/ecstatic/install.html> http://guillep.github.io/ecstatic/first_site.html <http://guillep.github.io/ecstatic/first_site.html> Iâll try soon. Are partials possibles ? I guess I have to look at the code ⦠Cheers, Cédrick
Iâll try it.
Cheers, Cédrick

There is already a static website generator in Pharo: https://github.com/guillep/ecstatic <https://github.com/guillep/ecstatic> Maybe you should start from that? It would be great. Regards

Hi - a bit late to reply on this one, but I did try Jekyl years ago, it was ok but over time frustrating to use and difficult to make the pipeline understandable ... I looked at Hugo and a few others but ended up going with Metalsmith (a JS static generator). I liked the plugable pipeline model of it, but cursed the state of Js tools (a few years ago) . It seems indeed that Jekyll can become frustrating. Iâm using Hugo right now. I didnât know metalsmith...
I tried Jekyll and Gatsby.js, and albeit the latest is a mix of SSR and SPA, I found some of their ideas in how to organize content to be valuable, but I can't stand the tooling or the feeling of facing an unneeded accidental complexity.
Iâve been meaning for ages to reimplement it in Smalltalk with a nice oo composite pipeline model and an easy way to debug and visualise what is going when getting your template right. Iâve tried to restrain myself not to redo it in smalltalk but that would be great option. I donât know the required effort though but Iâll be glad to be part of such project.
I spent the last weekend giving a try to that Gatbsy thing (nuxt.js and vuepress are in the backlog too), and at 10PM on sunday I decided to start coding something in Smalltalk, because it just feels better to me.
I don't know how harder would it be, but that's a tool we currently lack, the static-site generator. And we have support for different templating, rendering canvas, and whatnot.
Combine this with the new headless image and it should easily plug into netlify . Plus to netlify but also class export to servers. I thing Git(hubs) Pages are a nice option. In any cas, one nice pattern is to use git to store pages versions, and then you can replay on Pages / or on your own server / or on netlify.
When I think about netlify I don't think about an app (as in, an executable) but as a simple static site, but if it possible to deploy an app that is distributed and served by their CDN, then better!
I also wonder what would be possible with mini-image like Erik did.
I need to see more! I don't know how independent a client image can be, how much you can "pre-deploy" without needed to rehydrate the browser with server changes, etc. It's promising.
Regards!
