I think it's neat. There's lots of negative feedback on here, which I would encourage you not to get down about. As always on the net, folks are probably far more likely to leave a message if they have some objection or disagree with some aspect, rather than if they just plain like it.
Playing with the idea of a static site generator for the masses, instead of the multitudes of CLI solutions out there. Something to point at a folder of maybe 5 markdown files, and generate a site for personal or small business use. (not a blog)
I hate that friends who need a website have to opt for overkill solutions like Wordpress, or a $10 subscription service, just to get a 4-page site on the web...
i recently sat down over a weekend and did the same after realizing that i should hammer out something i can use for myself - it dawned on me the work i thought i might be saving with frameworks was offset by the work i'd wind up doing to them - having to go through and cut out all the stuff i wound up not using, changing defaults to things i like etc.
i think a part of that was also realizing what drew me to frameworks initially was less about styling and more about the grid or flexbox etc scaffold - the most daunting part for me to this day. creating my own set of base templates helped me learn quite a bit about grids though, and now when stuff breaks i can tackle it with more confidence in where to look for the issue and how to go about fixing it.
that being said, i'm not anti-framework or anything - i relied on them alot as i learned CSS, and even now i still treat them like something akin to styleguides or catalogs of what's new/trending in webdesign
I sometimes use "inurl:wordpress" when searching for travel info. This ensures more first-person blog accounts, rather than all the tripadvisor junk that's at the top.
This is super cool. I was always a fan of Expose (https://github.com/Jack000/Expose) because of accessibility to beginners like me, and few dependencies. Pandoc is similar, but powerful, and I like that this leans on that. With a custom template this could be really neat.
So yeah, I like it.
