About

Q. Why isn't this site just wordpress?
A. I wanted something small! I was inspired by a post about the 10Kb club https://10kbclub.com/ . I also spent some time struggling to install a larger ruby-based open source system on the VPS I rent and felt like making something really simple. Every once and awhile I get on a kick where I like to return to text-based, low-bloat tools.
Q. What's cool about this site?
All your content is served from markdown files. Edit them whatever way you like, either in situ on your server or ftp them up.
make a new md file and it's instantly available on your site.
overhead for a blank page is about 1600 bytes. No js, no cookies, no sessions, no images.
no database accesses on the back end means less waiting
pages are generally served in a few milliseconds
a little mobile-friendly (responsive to browser width)
supports the yaml metadata format in your markdown, including keywords. Markdown metadata is converted into page metadata where applicable.
all content is searchable via text or tags
Q. So it's just a wiki?
A. It's more like a super simple CMS, but no users or editors or revisions :-)
Q. Where can I get minimdsite?
A. minimdsite on github - I'd love your input.
