I wrote a simple tool chain called 'gem2web' for creating HTML pages for my self-hosted website. I released it publically under GPL3. Source linked inside. (python+shell) (lemmy.world)

This is a simple toolchain that allows you to focus on writing your website instead of getting distracted with HTML formatting.

It works by taking in a gemtext file and converting it into an HTML file.

Gemtext:

HTML:

Code can be found here on the public Git:

Nice! Gemtext and gemini in general is a really cool playground. I also learnt awk to do my gem2web script and all this lead me to web hosting. Very nice technology.

    Similar story here! A couple years ago learning about Gemini/gopher/smallnet from mentaloutlaw videos. So I joined a public access Unix server (first SDF later tilde.team) and learned how to write my own capsule site for a few years. Learned some basic .CGI bin and awk processing to create a gemtext to epub converter that made small ebooks of daily post in atom feed. It was like training wheels really helped prepare me for the transition to full self hosting capsule and website

    If you want to discover some even more obscure UNIX, SDF is having its Plan9 boot camp this Sunday. You can register now to get an access to their public access Plan9 machine at sdf.org/plan9
