I did write a WIP blog post, hosted on generated blog from a single blog.json file which you can read here -> https://ajaxdavis.com/post/Introducing-JSON-Blog/

But I will try summarise in this post also the why. I've always sucked at maintaining my blogs, but always have kept my content in various places e.g. dropbox, drive, gist, repos etc

And I've always wanted something simple, might not appeal to most (this project tries to allow for the bells and whistles though), so I had the idea that a single file should or could be able to generate an entire static website for a blog.

To support differentiation of themes and functionality I made up this idea of a `generator` much like a `theme` in WordPress or any alternatives.

My WIP boilerplate generator can be viewed at https://github.com/jsonblog/jsonblog-generator-boilerplate The idea is that you pass a map/object/dict to a function that returns an array of files that has the properties of {name: 'blah.html', contents: '<h1>ghost are real</h1>'}.

From that output, you are perfectly able to generate it on the file system, and then host it on the interwebs where ever you would like.

It's meant to be an open source project, and just for fun cause 2020 is so and so.

I've setup an org to maintain the repos -> https://github.com/jsonblog

And a WIP homepage https://jsonblog.org

Be ruthless or kind, all feedback would be much appreciated.
