Interesting approach: a minimalist, db-less static site generator blog where every post is stored as exactly one JSON file and comments are offloaded to either the Fediverse or Bluesky, according to the blogger's preference.
I've got way too much customization in my current #11ty and #ClassicPress setup, but it would be interesting to look at for a side project or experiment.
Though I'm not convinced JSON is better than Markdown with front matter. Yes, it moves the parsing complexity from the build stage to the saving-your-work stage, so I suppose that counts for something.

@kelson@notes.kvibber.com Running a (bash based) static blog, I've not enabled comments due to increased complexity. Using mastodon powered comments is an interesting approach. PS If you're thinking of using markdown, `pandoc` is a markdown converter.
