Over this summer I’ve shifted the Origami expression language to be a closer dialect of JavaScript expressions. jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2025/0...

Origami is now **JavaScript expressions plus paths**, with additional features that make it easier to define a site.

I wrote an article for the inaugural issue of Good Internet magazine!

I describe a conceptual model for site construction: goodinternetmagazine.com/site-creatio...

If you’re thinking about starting or rewriting a #smallweb #indieweb #blogging site, this is for you.

In which I compare the same blog rewritten four ways jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2025/0...

1. Minimalist #JavaScript with zero dependencies
2. JavaScript using the async-tree library
3. #WebOrigami
4. #Astro, a popular #SSG framework

Origami comes out nicely: concise source, modest dependencies, fast

Using the async-tree library substantially cuts down the source code for a minimalist static site generator in #JavaScript, at a very modest cost in dependencies. The result is still fast and flexible. #ssg #blogging #WebOrigami

This minimalist static site generator pattern is only for #JavaScript developers who want something small, fast, flexible, and comprehensible jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2025/0...

Static site generators like Astro are actually pretty complex for the problems they solve https://jan.miksovsky.com/posts/2025/04-14-astro.html
