MatterLinux

Finally a website!

Because of the package manager and the server stuff, the development of the website has been delayed a bit, but finally after few lines of Go later, here it is!

This website will be used to post news about Matterlinux’s development and updates.

Details

As I mentioned the webserver is written in Go, with the Fiber framework. The content on the website is managed by editing JSON and markdown files, these files then get parsed into HTML with the blackfriday libary. Which then gets rendered with Go’s HTML template engine.

And finally the HTML is styled with some simple CSS to let you read this post without hurting your eyes.

By the way the website itself does not contain any JavaScript, nor pulls anything from external CDNs.

What is next?

Now that the project has a proper website, next thing to do would be to start working on package repos. This may take a while but I think Matterlinux may be actualy bootable by the end of the year. Probably won’t have an release though, considering there may be bunch of issues with the package management system, that will be fixed along the way.

And oh! I need to write an entire wiki- god damn it.

I guess that’s all for now, see you in another post.
