Hello World — Michael's Blog

Welcome to my blog! This is a simple static site generated with a custom Go-based tool.

Why a custom SSG?

There are many great static site generators out there — Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy — but sometimes it's nice to build something minimal that does exactly what you need. This generator is about 400 lines of Go and supports:

Markdown content with YAML front matter
A clean, responsive design with no JavaScript
RSS feed for subscribers
Archive page grouped by year

How it works

Write a markdown file in content/posts/, run make generate, and the site appears in docs/ ready for GitHub Pages.

// That's it. Simple.
func main() {
    if err := run(); err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "error: %v\n", err)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
}
