I do use it. It makes a lot more sense if you use something like LISP or Clojure because (parens are king).
I really enjoy programmer dvorak. As you say, re-training copy and paste is a bit of a task, but my hands feel far less fatigued typing on dvorak than on Qwerty. Now I am type-fluent in both due to necessity and public terminals, but prefer to use programmer dvorak. I really like the numerical layout because there is some rhyme and reason: Left hand from middle out: 91357%, right hand from middle out: 02468` ... so it's a lot easier to type numbers because of that break-up. I don't mind having to hit shift for numbers because it makes for faster coding.
What, is this layout serious? I would reply seriously if I thought it was, and that reply would be along the lines of the above with less snark, and a note that I have an immediate aversion to anything that labels itself as "rockstar" seriously.
because that's an extra moving part, i will have to handle those compiled files separately, collect them somewhere, copy to S3 or whatevers. I don't want that. I want a simple thing that has just the content and a shallow presentation layer that just shows the content in a browser, that's it. No extra transformations or anything, this way the system is immediate and simple. markdown + front-end, no other moving parts
Hm, really? When I click on those links they all show me that they didn't find anything. Ok I see that google did find what I was looking for, I wasn't expecting that. But none of the other search engine did for me. I only got: "No more results.", "По вашему запросу ничего не нашлось", "No results found for site:http://nikolay.rocks How I Blog Now." and "We did not find results for: site:http://nikolay.rocks How I Blog Now."
But that doesn't seem like a nice thing to read, I mean it is better than nothing, but to do that you wouldn't need your own domain and all the JavaScript.
i used jekyll as well, and it's alright. this thing gives you the same workflow minus dependency on ruby runtime or a specific hosting platform that supports jekyll (like github for example).
I suppose I chose dependency on Ruby over dependency on client-side JS, though they're not mutually exclusive anyway.
It's a neat concept, for sure, and incredibly similar to something I once wanted to implement for photo galleries (and might still, since this actually seems to work quite well).
that's like saying that "if you can't print it on punch cards it's all bad". the progress didn't stop with lynx. probably good 90% of the modern internet won't work without javascript
i use the engine for some commercial work at the moment, i might open-source it eventually as well (if there is enough interest in it). but at the moment it's just a bunch of make-shift scripts thrown together which are not really in a publisheable shape
