Why I built this (38 seconds)

Thirty-eight seconds, recorded on a phone, no edit. The written version is below if you'd rather read.

There are hundreds of static site generators. I wrote another one anyway, and the reasons fit in less than a minute.

My posts lived on big platforms for fourteen years. Some of those platforms changed the rules. Some just disappeared. I spend my whole day in a terminal, so I wanted to write my blog there too. And a small personal blog does not need a database — files are enough.

So: posts are files, the site is a build, and comments live on the Fediverse. That's the whole idea.
