metalsmith-barebones | barebones boilerplate implementation | Static Site Generator library

(I'm new to python so please excuse the probably trivial question. I tried my best looking for similar issues but suprisingly couldn't find someone with the same question.)

I'm trying to build a simple static site generator in Python. The script should take all .txt files in a specific directory (including subfolders), paste the content of each into a template .html file and then save all the newly generated .html files into a new directory while recreating the folder structure of the original directory.

So for I got the code which does the conversion itself for a single file but I'm unsure how to do it for multiple files in a directory.

I am using the @lekoarts gatsby-theme-minimal-blog. You can view my code here: https://github.com/CodyWMitchell/my-site

I feel like I am losing hair because of how much time I have spent trying to get this working. I am running Gatsby locally, and I've somehow successfully shadowed the footer component. I want to shadow the header component, but for some reason nothing is working at all.

In the lekoarts theme, the footer is in the same folder location as the header component, but when I add a file called header.tsx to overwrite the other header.tsx in the same location as the footer that is successfully shadowing nothing happens. I tried adding it in every other possible place I can think of, restarting the local build, and I'm at my wits end.

Here's the kicker, when I remove footer.tsx from the local src directory I added it to, It gives me an error now? Why would it give me an error for a file not existing that wasn't even there in the theme to begin with until I added it?

I really (really) want to give a static site generator a shot, but this feels extremely frustrating for something that should be simple, and it's discouraging me for suggesting something like this for any kind of complex project.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I have a blog built with Eleventy (static site generator), using Nunjucks as the templating language.

I have a page that lists all the tags I've assigned to my posts. It lists them in alphabetical order, with the number of posts per tag.

What I'd also like to do is list the tags in order of frequency (most-used tags first).

The code that works to get the alphabetical list (with counts) looks like this:

I'm currently making a (static) website from scratch (so code the HTML and CSS stuff myself), and I want to have a responsive "image gallery" that changes the width of the pictures according to your screen width, so I followed this tutorial: CSS Image Gallery - responsive

However, changing it to my own likings I encountered an issue I could not fix with my current HTML/CSS skillset (it is not that much, I'm quite new in this). My problem is when I have (in my example three) images of the same size in my gallery, but the captions of the image have different length, this negatively affects the text that is followed by the gallery (see example and image below). I tried to fix this with the tutorials available at W3 and stuff, but nothing worked yet.

Does any of you how to (easily) fix this? And if so, please explain what you changed, because I want to truly understand what is going on at my website (that is why I didn't want to use these static site generators).

Note: I have made 3 types of galleries, one for two, three and four images, which explains the ".responsivethree" etc classes

I used the Nextjs static site generator to output a simple static site. I am attempting to deploy this site to Vercel but I keep getting an error while it is building. I have deployed this same site to static hosting sites in the past, but want to try Vercel now.

The nextjs docs explicitly say my nextjs app requires zero config:

We strongly recommend using Vercel even if your Next.js app is fully static. Vercel is optimized to make static Next.js apps blazingly fast. next export works with Zero Config deployments on Vercel.

I've got some questions about nextJS and SSG (static site generator)

1 - I want to manage my app state globally so I want to use react's context api. As I understand using redux in next js app disables SSG. If I use react context api does that disable too?

2 - I know that I can do server side rendering but I want to have a custom nodejs server that I created from scratch. And I want to fetch data from my nodeJS server in the client side. Does making that way disable SSG and bad for performance?

I'm currently individualizing the Hugo theme https://github.com/themefisher/vex-hugo

A demo can be found here: https://themes.gohugo.io/theme/vex-hugo/

Under the features there are nice icons with some text. I want to place the headings next to the icons.

In the html code a loop is used to place the text - which is defined in a yml file for static site generator Hugo - like this for the left icons and text:

i am trying to make a static site generator which works with a great routing class.
