Creating a website generator

How I built this website, what tech I used, what I learned, and why.

Choosing a platform

The main inspiration came from seeing Neocity websites. I wanted to create something in an older style, that was more hand-made than I had done before.

The only issue was that I wanted to not have to manually build every single webpage, and managing that can get hectic. So I decided to go with Prismic.io and build my own generator.

I've used graphQL before, so grabbing my data locally was something I was familiar with. I also took advantage of the Ruby neocities utility built, that let me automatically update my site through the mac terminal.
