+# Staticrustator (being workshopped)
+
+After struggling with rewriting personnal website in a myriad of ways, all in some way unsatisfying,
+I have decided to write my own statis site generator.
+
+Heavily inspired by [Saait](https://codemadness.org/git/saait/), since that is what I have been using previously.
+
+To build 
+```bash
+cargo build
+```
+
+and to create the website structure
+```bash
+cargo run
+```
+
+This will create the folder `output` then you can sync to your vpc, or however you serve stataic files.
+
+-------
+## File organization
+
+The posts are taken from `posts/` folder, are structured as markdown files, with a front matter in yaml for the date, and title of the post.
+
+
+Example:
+```markdown
+---
+title: Pantheon
+date: 2024-03-03
+---
+# WATCH PANTHEON
+
+## I DO NOT CARE WHAT DAY IT IS
+
+### HERE'S YOUR PLAN
+
+1. Wake up.
+2. Open whatever device you watch things on.
+3. Obtain, legally or illegaly, by any means necessary, 2 (two) seasons of Pantheon, created by Craig Silverstein based on short stories by Ken Liu.
+4. Binge the 2 sesons in a single night (it is feasable I checked)
+
+Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
+```
+
+Additional pages such as `about` is also taken from there, however you could modify the about template in `templates` folder.
+[Askama](https://github.com/djc/askama) is a rendering engine based on Jinja, so it is rather straight forward to use,
+but also it can take rust `structs` to hold template context, which is very nice.
+
+I have not yet integrated htmx into is, for faster loads of the post body,but that's for the future (also I hate js).
