Ristretto: An opinionated blog engine

This is the blog engine that powered my blog (https://thefullsnack.com)

How to use?

First, compile the generator. You'll need to install Rust (https://rustup.rs/).

cd generator-rs
cargo build

The executable binary will be available at ./generator-rs/target/debug/generator-rs and you can run it via the gen symlink in the root folder.

./gen posts

How to write post?

All posts should be located in ./posts folder, in markdown format. Each post should starts with some metadata:

posts/new-post.md

---
title: <string>
published: true | false | private | guest
date: YYYY-DD-mm HH:MM:SS
tags: <string>, <string>,...
description: <string>
image: <url to a featured image>
---

How do I publish a post?

Make sure your published field is set to true or private (generated but not show in homepage) or guest (shown as guest post).

Run the following command:

./gen posts

Can I preview my post while writing?

Run the previewer:

./gen preview

Then you can go to http://localhost:3123/view/<file-name-without-the-extension>, for example: http://localhost:3123/view/life-with-robot.
