This is interesting. I wonder if there is some way to make the error message more clear what the root cause is in this case 🤔

What sort of things are you finding most painful with build/dependency management? Out of interest from someone with not a lot of varied language experience

Definitely happy to chat more on Slack / at #HomebrewWebsiteClub if you're able to join, but my recommendation is generally Hugo. Templating / documentation is not the best, especially if you're not used to Go's templating. I moved from Jekyll last year https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/01/04/goodbye-jekyll-hello-hugo/ and have found it a much better experience. It's super quick to build (even for my large multi-purpose site) and has a tonne of stuff built-in to it that makes it fairly batteries included

I moved from Jekyll to Hugo cause of speed and massively recommend it. It's a bit painful documentation wise / if Go's templating isn't your cup of tea but I could see it being one of the longer running static site generators

So my angle on this is to have a client that is completely auto-populating. It's not necessarily something that will be useful for everyone, I admit (and is a slightly different interaction model than we usually use).

But I think it'd be quite nice to be able to point a Micropub client to a Micropub server, and have it render an editor for all the given post-types, with all the given properties, instead of needing to build the client with some awareness of what is required.

I've got https://www.jvt.me/img/profile.png set up so I can easily reference it, but agree it'd be super helpful if it was possible to not re-import everywhere. https://www.libravatar.org/ seems like an interesting alternative, but like #Gravatar it doesn't work for me as I don't usually use the same email address across services

Personally, I'm not sure if Webmentions do make sense in this case, because Webmentions are meant to be sent - and received - multiple times, from a given webpage, and not necessarily by you. Unless you add some sufficient de-duplication, it may still not work very well.
