I've been having decision paralysis about setting up my own personal website. I would personally like to avoid some bloated frameworks or tools like Wordpress, Squarespace, Wix, etc. I'm also not really sure I even want a blog. I'd like to have a collection of articles that aren't just written once and then moved on from but rather are updated and refined over time. I've looked at static website generators, but don't really feel they're that simple.

So I've been looking to just do things from scratch. Maybe it would be nice to write articles in markdown and have a custom static website generator that takes these and publishes them. It could be a fun F# or Racket project. The idea of simple HTML and CSS being loaded for maximum speed and old school web with a little something for interactive graphs and other things is something that sits well for me.

Although, I just took on a new Elixir job, and something with Liveview and Livebook for interactivity could be really cool.

Anyone else struggle with this and end up coming up with a solution or finding one?
