Quality of Life Improvements
2024-06-06
I haven’t circled back to barf
in quite a bit of time, so I’m happy to announce a small update mainly focused on quality of life improvements! I’ll keep things brief and get right into the core changes:
Automatic detection of your operating system (supports Linux, macOS and OpenBSD currently)
barf
now checks your current OS and sets aliases accordingly- this removes the need to hard-set your own aliases or run syslinks
Added a semantically valid RSS feed
barf
initially launched with Atom support only, now a separate RSS feed is generated at build time
Removed hardcoded feed links from header.html
- You now only need to set your main domain at the top of the core
barf
file.
Swapped out smu
for lowdown
- The default Markdown parser is now set to
lowdown
. The original parser (smu
) is great, but I wanted to make the project simpler by avoiding users to clone and build a separate package.
That’s it really! I’ve also updated the original blog posts about setting up barf
on macOS and OpenBSD to reflect these changes.
Cheers!
