Next Gen Static Blogging

I'm glad I'm not so blind that I need a screenreader for this site, because @mmackh doesn't seem to have given any consideration to accessibility.

If this is "next gen", I think I'll stick to using emmet-mode in Emacs to write raw HTML, templating with m4 macros, validating with tidy, and doing the build and deployment with a makefile.

I bet that blind people can't wait for next 'next-gen' static blogging:

html::after { content: "Welcome to my blog" }

Whenever people do stuff like this, alternative text protocols like Gemini make more sense.

I thought the crowd on HN was more technically versed than this post. This self-titled "next-gen" blogging solution disregards SEO and accessibility. Am I wrong?

I'm tempted to argue the value of SEO when to me it has come to mean catering to Google and trying to game its algorithms, but no. You're not wrong.

Made me realize my own site needs work. Thank you for sharing this

I hope it helps. A woman I worked with a decade ago impressed upon me the importance of accessibility and sometimes I try to pay it forward.
