Inkblot

Note: This is a super early prototype might-not-have-time-energy-to-finish-it project. Probably don't use it.

Generate your static site.

Roadmap

1. Nested directories.
2. Layouts
3. Includes/underscore files
4. Config
5. Styling/Sass
6. Static files/images?
7. CLI
8. Object model? Like specify "things" with fields that have default pages/display styles?
9. Extend that to Posts and Tags at least as the basic "things" supported out of the box.
10. Plugins
11. Moar Configuration.
12. Enable auto-reloading by keeping track of modification time

Ideas

• Configure sass/scss output style in config?
• Figure out how to do relative pathing for includes?
• There's room for more fancy static file specification (specific files or directories or patterns), but right now, it works by any non-recognized file extension being considered a static file. And at least now it handles binary files smoothly as well.
• Dev server doesn't reload/find newly created files?

Contributing

It's early yet, but I'd love contributers!

1. Clone and enter the repo.

git clone git@github.com:rpalo/inkblot.git
cd inkblot

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it (activation must be done every time before working on it).

python3 -m venv .venv

# In Bash
source .venv/bin/activate
# PowerShell
.venv/Scripts/activate

3. Install dependencies.

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

And you're ready to go. To test things out on the example directory, run:

inkblot build -d example

It should build and be amazing.
