Markdown static blog generator made with Python, used at https://lambdan.se/blog/

This is a new rewrite of lambblog, which previously was dynamic using PHP, so there are still features missing and lots of things I haven't tested.

I cannot really recommend anyone but me using it at this point :)

• Valid RSS Feed
• Stats page with some silly metrics
• Mirrors full quality images and also creates lower quality versions for faster loading
• Looks good on mobile
• Support for link posts

This is made for my own blog, but if you wanna use it, you can:

• Place this script in a new folder
• In the folder called posts goes your Markdown formatted text files/blog posts
  • See examples in the repo, the first 3 lines are important
• In the folder called pages goes your about.html and misc.html pages
  • If you want more pages, you can add more but you have to modify the generateHeader() def to include them (ideally this will be done automatically eventually)
  • The very first line of these HTML files must be the title of the page. These pages will be wrapped in the css-class article.
  • See examples in the repo.
• Next to the script, create a folder called includes, in here goes stuff you want in the root of your site, such as CSS files, favicons
• pip3 install python-dateutil python-slugify markdown2 Pillow bs4 requests feedgen pyrss2gen tweepy feedparser
• Then run the script: python generate_site.py --root-url https://example.com/blog/
  • This will output the resulting files to ./_output/
  • You can output to another folder using --root-folder /folder/folder2/folder3/
• The script will confirm that you want to continue with a simple Continue? y/N prompt
• Copy the resulting files to your site's root folder
