bckt v0.7.3, my "opinionated but flexible static site generator for blogs", is out!

The most notable change is the installation bundles come with a nice set of themes, as well as some demo content:

# Install
brew install vrypan/tap/bckt

# Create a test directory and initialize a new blog
# with the demo microblog posts and the micro theme
mkdir test && cd test
bckt init --theme micro --demo microblog 

# Start the local http server to preview it
# (the static pages are in the html/ directory)
bckt dev

Use --demo microblog to test how it looks with short, titleless posts and --demo articles to see a version with longer articles, closer to a typical blog post. But all themes will work nicely with both types of content.

You will probably want to use an AI agent to create your own theme. There is an AGENTS.md that will make this very easy.

For example, let's use Max Böck's blog, which has a really nice design.

cd in your blog directory and try prompt like this:

- Read https://github.com/vrypan/bckt/blob/main/themes/AGENTS.md
- Check themes/* to see how the existing themes are structured.
- create a theme inspired by https://mxb.dev/blog/
