I began working on a static site generator called mettu on a whim. To be very honest, I wasn't really looking forward to it, but then when both my friends decided to make their own SSG, I had FOMO hit hard.
And I decided to build one! This site, is built with mettu, and part of the delay on getting my site up is because I wanted to get mettu up and running. (T-T)
This blog aims to cover my journey on building mettu, and also my own site.
The tech stack¶
Mettu is built with Python, and uses vite for deployment. The goal with this SSG was not hitting benchmarks, but rather something that makes it easy to build a static site, and also looking at the changes real time.
For this reason the first choice I made was to use DaisyUI,a TailwindCSS plugin, as it simplifies the CSS to be written with a lot of prebuilt components.
That is pretty much it?
Note that the repo for mettu is still incomplete when it comes to deployment for now.
This article is also incomplete, hopefully I get to finishing this at some point.
