Notes on using pelican

When starting my blog I was thinking about using jekyll, since I was using it for past projects and I liked its performance and simplicity compared to other heavy frameworks or content managment systems like wordpress.

The only thing that made me look for an alternative, was that I am not familiar with ruby at all. And although I touched it a few times I never really liked it for reasons, which I am not aware of at the moment of writing this article.

While searching the web I found the python alternative pelican.

I only took me a few minutes to get started and here we go!

Recently I also learned about the new kid on the block for python dependency management, called uv.

The only command I will need from now on to publish my blog is

uv run --with invoke invoke publish
