Right now, my personal site https://catgirl.ai is generated using a static site generator (Zola). I have a git repo with a bunch of markdown files, and when I want to update it I build and rsync to the server. Pretty standard stuff. I'd like to serve it over Gemini as well. So I'm working on a project <https://github.com/deifactor/exarch> to do so. But now I'm thinking: since Gemini servers are super easy to write, maybe instead of converting the markdown to Gemtext and serving that using a generic Gemini server, maybe I could have Exarch serve the md files and do the conversion directly, sa well as the 'template' files I use to generate the lists of posts. And then I just copy over the entire repo and run `exarch serve repo-root` to serve it via Gemini (or define an archive format that contains all the gmi files and templates and such). What do you all think? ps: I haven't looked too deeply to see if there's an existing solution, because I want an excuse to learn async Rust :)
