About Inelegant Hack

Welcome to Inelegant Hack, a minimal static site built with Python and deployed to Neocities.

The Site

This site is powered by a custom-built static site generator that combines:

• Python for the core logic
• Jinja2 for templating
• Markdown for content authoring
• Neocities for hosting

The Generator

The static site generator is designed to be simple, hackable, and easy to understand. It:

• Reads markdown files with frontmatter
• Converts them to HTML using Jinja2 templates
• Supports both blog posts (time-based) and static pages
• Deploys directly to Neocities via their API

Why "Inelegant Hack"?

Sometimes the best solutions are the simple ones. This generator doesn't try to be everything to everyone - it's just enough to get the job done, with clean code you can actually understand and modify.
