Static Blog Generator

A simple static blog generator that creates a minimalist blog similar to danluu.com.

How it works

1. Place your markdown posts in the posts directory using the format: YYYY-MM-DD-post-title.md
2. Each post should have front matter with a title:

   ---
   title: "Your Post Title"
   ---
   
   Your post content here...

3. The generator will:
   • Convert markdown posts to HTML
   • Create an index page with a chronological list of posts
   • Generate static HTML files ready for GitHub Pages

Local Development

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Generate static files:

   node generate_posts.js

3. Preview locally:

   python3 -m http.server 8000

GitHub Pages Deployment

1. Push your changes to the main branch
2. GitHub Actions will automatically:
   • Generate the static files
   • Deploy to GitHub Pages
3. Your blog will be available at: https://[username].github.io/[repository-name]/

Note: Make sure to enable GitHub Pages in your repository settings and set it to deploy from the gh-pages branch.
