  • concepts.annotation.media
  • ...
    • tools.tagspaces for digital asset managment

Plan of Action mk. JEKYLL

Essentials

• https://jekyllrb.com/
  • uses markdown
  • CLI / coding heavy, but!
• general templates can be created
  • how to avoid all portfolios looking the same?
  • additionally, cost of set-up for non-computerandos not too high
• GitLab CI can be used to build and deploy (!) websites
  • no previews though
• pre-setup anabasis machines?

Minimal requirements on users

• markdown knowledge
• git user knowledge (?)
  • no reasonable user-friendly GUI :(

Features / Workflows

• full page (e.g. about, contact, history...) = single markdown file
• OR markdown files as separate page components/blocks (i.e. portfolios)
  • annotation with yaml metadata, which allows for:
  • sorting by date, name, project, medium...
  • automatic inclusion into pages (if specified by template)
  • living example: https://t.mldk.cz/tools
    • (each tool a single .md file)
• result = single folder of plain HTML files
• allows for embedding of dynamic content (videos, javascripten, blinkenlichten)
