First feature request: auto light/dark theme adjustment.
First bug report: when I tried adding authentication to a test site, I received this error:
Failed to enable protection: Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.
Really cool that it respects the SSG conventions and separation of content, collections, templates, themes etc.
Yes a core part of what I’ve tried to do is separate content from presentation. This all started by trying to build an alt-protocol like Gemini or Gopher as a minimal writing and publishing experience. I realised that for it to be useful it needed to be accessible by browsers, so I added the SSG layer. But it still publishes the source content and config alongside the HTML. This means sites can be accessed by more than just browsers - as an experiment I made a CLI client that parses the source directly.
Themes can be imported via a URL or as a zip file and are pretty similar to Jekyll or 11ty themes. My next task is to port a bunch of them over. I’m also planning to create ready-configured template sites that users can copy and configure. Maybe take an Astro or Ghost approach, with a mix of free and paid themes.
I took the briefest of looks at the Gopher/Gemini/alt-publishing scene and found it interesting (though I went no further than surface level research). I'd be interested in hearing more about where this experimentation took you!
I found I wasn’t able to add FTP support without some sort of proxy service. However I am working on wrapping it into a native Tauri app. This will have more publishing options as it’s not so constrained by what you can do in a browser.
