Lazy blog

a static blog generator which tries to do as little as possible:

• do only the most essential stuff on server side (like providing links from index page to all posts), and move all non-essential stuff (like tags, sorting, filtering) to client side (Javascript)

• do only the most essential stuff when generating index.html (patch it, instead of regenerating anew)

• try to keep code as small as possible (under 100 lines of bash script)

It tries to fit between jr (which does not look very search-engine friendly), and bashblog (which re-reads all posts on single post modification).

Technology used

Server-side:

• sed -i
• envsubst

Client-side:

• array.map, array.filter, array.forEach (FF1.5+, IE 9+)
• (document|element).querySelector[All] (FF 3.5+, IE 9+, Opera 10+, Safari 3.2+)
• window.onhashchange (Chrome 5.0+, FF 3.6, IE 8+, Opera 10.6+, Safari 5.0+)

lazyblog's Issues

`edit` command should accept both full file names and filenames without extension

typical situation:

user@hostname:~/blog$ ls
blog-post.html
blog-post.md

Typing lazyblog edit b<TAB> will lead to this situation:

user@hostname:~/blog$ lazyblog edit blog-post.

Currently, you have to type md manually.

Instead, lazyblog should recognise above situation (user-provided filename ends with dot, such file does not exist, but if you add md - file exists) and add md automatically

`rm` command should have a parameter which will say if to delete relevant files or not

Currently lazyblog rm blog-post.md executes shell command rm -r blog-post.* at the end. It should be optional.

`help` command needed
