A new Ruby-based static-site generator from Shinobi creator Bradley Taunt

I wasn’t expecting a new static-site generator from Bradley Taunt, who created Shinobi, but I should have expected it because he has written a lot of short blog-generating scripts, as he details in Blogging for 7 years

He left Shinobi behind a few years ago. I don’t begrudge him that — it remains good to use and will continue to be so. Shibobi has issues for sure — the biggest being that it doesn’t support inline links or other HTML because it uses XML for web display.

Terminal — the Hugo theme used by this blog — is no longer being maintained

Every time I come back to Hugo as a static-site/blog generator after a long layoff, I look at all the themes available at https://themes.gohugo.io, and since I’m thinking about starting some new sites, I went back to see how my current favorite theme, Terminal (used by this site), was doing.

It still looks great but was “retired” by its developer Radosław Kozieł about 7 months ago.

Since I don’t update the Hugo binary very often (I tend to download it to my working directory instead of using “distro” Hugo), I didn’t notice any problems — mostly because there aren’t any.
