I should probably update that post. I took it down because of some issues with my hosting and then never really got around to bringing it back up. at the time, it only had about 20-30 items though.
I can tell you the export to HTML functionality is solid, but for something like a wiki you really need searchability which as far as I know zim templates do not provide. The available templates are also not responsive other than maybe the eight-five-zero theme that i modified for my site.

Not long ago, I ran through a bunch of wiki programs and eventually landed on Zim as my comfort zone. It's very light, looks pretty good, and just works! The syntax is a bit weird, and as someone mentioned, it doesn't handle code very well. Still really great and an easy recommend, though.

I write mostly about random nonsense but I do want to get more technical eventually. This is my first year blogging in a long time so it's mostly been about getting into the groove and developing a voice.
Using a very basic static site generator written in Python, very less CSS and minimal HTML templates.
I have another account that I use HN not tied to my name.

I wrote a basic static site generator [1] using Python (and Jinja) to spit out pages for my personal site [2].

I didn't know Ruby (for Jekyll) or Go (for Hugo) and while you may not need to know them to get started, I didn't want the learning curve or bulky dependencies to cause friction in the workflow. Also, I just didn't like any of the standard templates and didn't want to think about how I would edit them to suit my needs.
