A Minimalist and Powerful Blog Generator 📝

#

Want to create a blog without complications? Bashblog is the answer. It’s a single Bash script (~1000 lines) that generates complete static blogs without dependencies or complex configuration.

Just type ./bb.sh post, open your text editor, write, and… done! The script automatically generates everything: HTML, RSS, indices, tag support. It works on Linux, BSD, and macOS.

💡 Explanation in a nutshell

#

Bashblog follows the UNIX philosophy: do one thing and do it well. It doesn’t need:

• Complex installations
• Databases
• External dependencies (just standard tools like date, sed, grep)
• Templating

You only need:

• A server with shell access
• A publicly accessible folder via HTTP
• The bb.sh script

Included features:

• Drafts: Save posts without publishing
• Automatic RSS: Generated without configuration
• Tags/Categories: Organize your posts
• Markdown: Optional but supported
• Comments: Integration with Twitter or Disqus
• Analytics: Support for Google Analytics

It’s perfect if you love simplicity, total control, and don’t want to be trapped in a heavy CMS. A project maintained for years that proves that simplicity scales.
