Moving to Pelican

Posted by Denis Viviès on 2019-03-10

So, last month I finally decided to move from Hugo to Pelican. The main reason for that was my preference of Python over Golang: I work all day with Python, I make side-projects in it, I know how to installing cleanly and how to deploy it. I was really lacking those last two points in Golang and I've learned now that if dependency management can feel complicated in Python, it feels worse in Golang.

Why not programming a website from scratch? There's even templates for that in almost all web frameworks? Mostly because I do not want to spend much time making the blog working, I want to have something to quickly share thoughts (even if I don't write often and should publish more) all while not having to always worry about my systems up and running. A static website generator that reads markdown is perfect for me.

However, I want to share and receive feedback. Last post (4 months ago, I should really write more), I was thinking about using Isso and looking at the possibilities that the component I chose to use. It's simple to setup, one configuration file, one entry in supervisor and here we go. So now, dear visitor, you can tell me what are your thoughts.
