This is my first markdown-based blog post. I've been experimenting, with the help of Antigravity and Claude Code assistants. We've been able to convert this site from WordPress to a static, plain vanilla JS site. The current state of this experiment are that:
- We can generate pages by combining html content fragments into a series of html template files using npm scripts
- We can generate pages using markdown content fragments into html skeleton template files using npm scripts
- Deployment of the "compiled" html files to S3/Cloudfront is automated using Github Actions
I have no hopes that this will be the future of web development, but it's an interesting experiment nonetheless.
Let's see where we can take this.
