First Entry

This is my first log entry!

Last year I migrated this site to Zine to play around with and hack on the project. I ported everything over (from Zola) without too much trouble; the starter template got me 99% of the way there because of the site’s bare-bones nature. Since the work’s already been done, I decided to commit to using Zine without much thought, and forgot about it.

Setting up this log page today is when I got to experience where Zine shines. Here’s a list of things that stood out to me:

how expressive yet concise Scripty is
the function chaining approach to expressing intent: $page.date.format('2006').eql($build.generated.format('2006'))
the explanations of design decisions interlaced throughout the docs
the emphasis on developer UX, with the SuperHTML language server being a core component of this project

My verdict: I’m really enjoying it so far!
