No CMS is best CMS

Haelwenn requested to merge nocms into master

Done because Middleman is quite unstable and horribly limited / not flexible (can't add non-blog pages? !49 (closed)) and while there is static generators out there they often still have stability/maintenance issues when custom themes/layouts are used.

It could be made more similar to Middleman by using a more advanced scripting language but I preferred to pick shell because it's stable (unlike say, python) and well-known (unlike say, perl).

Progress:

  • index.html
  • basic layout
  • article layout
  • article adaptations
  • article lists
  • Atom feeds

Regressions:

  • no hashes in assets filenames, something like ?serial=YYYYMMDDXX could be used
  • no support for the tags
  • dates aren't reformatted (date(1) can allow passing arbitrary ones but it's a GNU extension)
  • no link to the source repo in the footer
  • no livereloader, I guess it could be done via a special HTTP daemon
