I think the use of md-block cannot be considered as "raw HTML". Like CSS-in-JS cannot be considered as pure CSS.

Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#44> the blog you’re reading now is written in raw HTML, with md-block for markdown, and highlight.js for syntax highlighting. That doesn't sound like raw HTML to me. I write my own blog in raw HTML with a text editor (BBEdit), no JavaScript, and no server-side script either. For good measure, I also write my RSS feed in raw XML with a text editor.
For me, it blinked some markdown on the page briefly before formatting appeared. So, no, it's not raw HTML.
For what it's worth, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. My blog is written in markdown. HTML is a deeply unpleasant thing to write blogs with.

#45> the longest lived one is based on hugo Upgrading hugo is not straightforward due to the backward incompatibility changes. Too much changes to care for a static generator.
Isn’t Hugo distributed as a static binary? I assume that binary doesn’t ask you to upgrade.

#46Irrelevant to the topic, just wanted to say hi. I have the honor to know poga during teenage with shared interest, and you have always been an inspiration to me. Seeing your post on the front page of HN is a welcoming surprise.
Regarding the topic, I resonate with the concern about personal blog having to follow the convention of certain technology. Wouldn't say I enjoy reading it (or any site) without some minimal styling though.

#47Blogging in raw html means you fire up emacs, tramp to the blogs index.html find the last closing p tag and underneath put the post headline and timestamp and an opening p tag on the next line and you are off to the races. Of course opening the index in tramp, putting the heading, timestamp and p tag goes into a function or paused kbd-macro so it fits into Mx blogthis
Blam!
You do it just like that. But with vi.

#48I blog with raw HTML too, but I don't blog about it. The "blog about the tools I use" tarpit is somewhat unique, it's like if online chefs were obsessed with creating knife and fork recipes.
Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#49I'm blogging with Raw HTML since the beginning of this year. The biggest missing piece is probably RSS support which makes me sad. I can write a script to generate that from the list of article but I'm not sure if there's better way.
Perhaps this would work for you? https://feed-me-up-scotty.vincenttunru.com/
It's a GitHub Action that regularly scrapes your page and checks for new entries, turning it into an RSS feed. Set up a redirect yourblog.com/feed -> you.github.io/feeds/feed.xml, then you're golden.

#50> However, even a static site generator will deprecate some features one day No? You don't need to upgrade to the version that deprecates. Besides, what features are you using with such a simple blog the are at risk?
I used wintersmith.io. At some point it was abandoned and eventually the node version needed was old and other stuff associated with it. It became a hassle.
"the node version needed"
Ahhh...
