Any recommendations for a good static blog framework. I started looking at hugo but it gives off 80/20 vibes. I'm looking for simplicity with ease of getting started and expanding, y'know what I'm used to with clojure :)

@theeternalpulse I recently switched my blog over to cryogen and I really like that.

seancorfield18:11:12

(I was using an old version of Octopress before, based on Jekyll, and it just got too hard to keep a Ruby env updated and working)

Alex Miller (Clojure team)18:11:03

I think Cryogen is pretty sweet if you want a Clojure backed static blog

borkdude18:11:42

I'm in the same boat as Sean with my blog. I manage to keep it running but it's raining deprecation warnings all over my terminal. Probably will port it to some Clojure solution within the next two years

@borkdude It took me a day to migrate from Octopress to Cryogen. And then several hours here and there afterward to tidy up CSS and other content-related issues.

theeternalpulse20:11:06

Thanks for the suggestion, I remember you recommended Octopress a while ago, but I didn't get into it mainly because of the environment setup. I'll check out cryogen

borkdude19:11:09

yeah, I'll postpone it as long as possible probably ;)

borkdude19:11:00

but I'll be looking at your repo for how you did it

seancorfield19:11:15

This was the quick "scratch" script I used to copy over all the Jekyll blog posts to the same URL structure on Cryogen https://github.com/seancorfield/seancorfield.github.io/blob/cryogen/src/migrate_blog.clj

borkdude19:11:50

nice! I'll be bookmarking this

seancorfield19:11:01

It takes care of converting the post prelude to EDN and the nested yyyy/mm/dd/slug/ structure from Jekyll.
