(no title)

Can you describe your process? Do you just hand type import-free HTML and rsync it up to a web server?

I’d make so many syntax errors without at least some sort of lint/build step.

My blog is hosted on Netlify and lives in a GitHub repo. Updating the public blog is as simple as git push.

I write and iterate my blog posts in a raw text file. When I’m happy I make a copy/paste an existing post and then modify the title and body.

There’s no server or build step. I just open the local .html file in my local browser. My build process is change HTML and press F5 in browser.

I have experimented with markdown-to-html converters. They’re ok but not a game changer.

Most of my posts have no JavaScript. But a few with custom visualizations do.
