Overview

Leven

Leven is a lightweight Markdown-based static site generator for blogs. It's a lot like Jekyll or Hugo, but it's much simpler, much faster, and made specifically for blogs.

static site generator

/ˈstatɪk sʌɪt ˈdʒɛnəreɪtə/

takes in your blog posts and converts them into a standalone HTML website that you can upload to GitHub Pages or Netlify or Neocities or just about anywhere else.

Getting Started

Option to generate relative URLs?

It would be nice to be able to publish a Leven blog as a sub-page on a website - so that using Leven wouldn't require a dedicated domain only for the blog.

I'm guessing this could be done either with a configuration option for Leven's "root path", or an option to never have absolute URLs?

My main reason for wanting this is to experiment with publishing Leven without having to redo existing pages or change top-level configuration. This would also be useful for demonstrating multiple configurations of a theme, or other demonstrations where having a domain-per-instance is not practical.

If this is already an option, could it be added to the documentation?

A theming solution.

Maybe add a subcommand that git clones template directories for you, and assumes that all relative paths are actually referring to GitHub because that's the only thing about NPM that I like?

Make init easier.

Why can't I just do leven new folder-name instead of mkdir folder-name; cd folder-name; leven init?

Also, it's kind of annoying to run the server using Python's http.server because you have to change directories, got any good workarounds?

Use configuration file.
This would be really good for:

Choosing the number of posts on the index page.

Finding the root of the blog instead of making the terrible assumption that it's the current directory.

Atom syndication
Implementation for #25 . Allows to generate an atom feed for the blog. Validated with w3c and tested with feedly and found to work fine. Following fields are required for it in Leven.toml:

uuid (a uuid, used to identify the feed)

home_url (the homepage of the feed website)

base_url (the base url of the blog, could be same as home_url but doesn't have to)

feed_url (the url of the feed.xml, could perhaps be derived from base_url)

author (the author of the blog)

email (the email of the author)

Optionally a date can also be specified to be used for the generated feed xml, if not specified, now is used.

support for optional hugo-style metadata block

E.g.:

+++ date = "2016-12-09T00:00:00+02:00" +++

Currently supports a date and a title field. If they are present they override the built-in approach of leven.

Add SEO Metadata.

Ghost does it by letting users set 'Meta Title' and 'Meta Description'. This is what the <head> of a blog post looks like for reference, with Meta Title = 'A Cow - Sidney Pham' and Meta Description = 'Cows':

<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html" charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
