A few minutes ago I cloned fastpages repo and tried building it locally in my M1 Macbook by make server, but got the following error:

❯ make server

@hamelsmu What do you advise to do about this issue?

NB: I am writing this comment on all open issues

Thank you for posting this issue, and I'm really sorry I haven't gotten around to fixing this. All of my time has been focused on nbdev. In the new version of nbdev, we knew that we wanted to include blogging rather than it being a separate project. We realized that Quarto, which the new version of nbdev is built on, is much better than fastpages. Rather than keep this project going, we are recommending that people migrate to Quarto as we think that will be more powerful for users and is a much better tool for blogging.

I've written a detailed migration guide with some tools that will hopefully make the process of switching much easier. Overall I think it will be worth it for users.

My apologies again for not getting to this issue sooner. Will close this issue with this PR https://github.com/fastai/fastpages/pull/657, where we are letting people know that we are deprecating this project. Thanks again for your support and for using fastpages! 🙇🏽
