Nice
Best way to edit your web site is to just use a text editor such as vi or vim
@vaporeon_ the best way to edit your web site is to write 1200 lines of bash code that generate html from markdown files using pandoc
@wallhackio At least it's not JavaScripts...
@wallhackio IDK, to me it feels better to write a web page directly in HTML than waste my time with Markdown or whatever, but if it works for you, then it works for you
Your way might have of being easier to convert to Gopher if you ever want to put up a Gopher server...
@wallhackio There are not many Gopher servers online these days, but I sure would like there to be more...
@wallhackio Is @aescling perhaps familiar with Gopher and can explain it better than me?
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i used to serve a blog over a tor-only gopherhole. i don’t know if i even wanna know what i was posting about at that time in my life lol
@aescling @wallhackio Cool technology, but bad opinions?
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i think most of my opinions were purrobably fine i’m just more embarrassed by the fact that i was definitely more naive at the time
@aescling @wallhackio Vaporeon fact: still stupid & naive
@wallhackio It's a different protocol that's older than HTTP
I'm not sure how to explain it right now, but I enjoyed browsing it
It has a structured way of browsing directories and files, and then the files with information tend to be text-only, unlike HTML web pages
Here's a screenshot of
lynx gopher://gopher.quux.org(not operated nor endorsed by me, but they do have a lot of RFCs on this web page and some information on Gopher standard, and you definitely can use it to try out what Gopher is like)
