Jekyl/Hugo/zola like projects using redbean? #363

Open rrjanbiah opened 2 years ago

rrjanbiah commented 2 years ago

Based on the interesting perspective about the single binary in https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/1718 is it already possible to build Jekyl/Hugo/zola like ecosystem around redbean?

Ecosystems are great. What recommendations would you offer for next steps? For example, some things I'd like to see happen is an online service for distributing your redbeans along with any extension packages you've written. We're also in the process of starting up a Discord channel. I'll leave this open for feedback.

interesting. Concerning ecosystem, I think redbean could allow for a revolutionairy distribution system. As in, pick-and-choose certain redbean extensions, wrap it into a particular redbean binary..optionally include redbean.c, press the download-button or copy/paste a curl-cmd and start hacking locally. We need to save the souls who got stuck in the kubernetes/megastack-installer-rabbithole ;)

ps. I'm a bit on the fence concerning binary releases. On one hand I think it's mega-empowering to see a full scriptable webstack fit into one single redbean.c file. On the other hand (linux) history shows that not providing binaries, cuts off a huge inflow of new potential adopters (who can't use a c-compiler (yet)).

Looks like someone modified TiddlyWiki to be a redbean server. Neat!
