Is there some kind of static-site generator for gemlogs? Or not the software itself, but a standard set of style guides for things like "this will make your gemlog more easily navigable by adding the appropriate links to the ends of documents, collecting an index, dating files properly, and adding tags iff wanted? Or is that against the spirit of the protocol, and I should continue using the bash scripts I've cobbled together towards that purpose?

I have everything done locally. When I’m happy i just commit it with git and push to server, then post-receive script deploys it to the server directory and everything runs happily. · 4 weeks ago
Like others said, there is no standard, but there are a few programs that simplify things. I use gssg: https://git.sr.ht/~gsthnz/gssg
It isn't very flexible, e.g. I'd like to add a link to previous page to the top of the page of gemlog entry, but I can only add it to the bottom — but it gets the job done: it generates the pages for entries, the index and even the feed (optionally). I could even modify it to achieve the result I want — Go makes it relatively easy, but I'm just lazy 😅 · 1 month ago
yep, no "suggested standard". find something you like, copy and modify · 1 month ago
Look up "awesome gemini" for a long list of Gemini related software, including some gemlog programs.
I wouldn't worry about doing something against the spirit of Gemini. But the place is really DIY. If you want appropriate links, indexes, proper file dates, tags, and so on, you should probably do it yourself. And it's more fun that way. · 1 month ago
