Show HN: Maudit, a Rust library to build static websites

Princesseuh — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 15:45:42 +0000

Hello!

Maudit is a library (not a framework) to build static websites. What this means is that a Maudit website is a normal Rust project, pages are normal Rust structs and so on.

There's a built-in function one can use that will do pages -> HTML as expected, or one can run quite literally `SomePage.build()` to build a single page.

While there are some obvious downsides in complexity on the user side, I'm hoping that this model allows people to grow past some of the limitations that traditional SSG frameworks have, where it can be hard sometimes to customise certain aspects.

It's still super early, but feedback is extremely welcome. Hope you'll like it!

Show HN: Get (kinda)dynamically updating images on static websites

kuberwastaken — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 13:35:38 +0000

This isn't a crazy innovation but something I didn't see a direct and easy way of so I created for my own use cases. This is a template repo that runs a GitHub actions script every x hours to get a new screenshot of any URL. If you use the direct GitHub image URL, the image is "dynamically updated".

Pretty cool stuff, well documented too, I use it to keep the image in the repo for my blog updated and it by default runs every 24 hours.

Show HN: BeBlob – A Gitlab-Powered Comment Section for Static Websites

belevme — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 18:50:01 +0000

Hi everyone!

I'm happy to introduce BeBlob, an open-source widget that adds a comment section to any static or dynamic website—without needing a dedicated backend—by leveraging GitLab issues. Inspired by my personal journey hosting my blog (belev.me) on GitLab Pages and noticing existing GitHub-backed solutions like utterances (https://github.com/utterance/utterances) and giscus (https://laymonage.com/posts/giscus), I wanted to create a similar tool for GitLab users.

BeBlob automatically maps each webpage to a GitLab issue and uses GitLab OAuth for user authentication. It supports emoji reactions, markdown comments with live preview, code-highlighting and a set of customizable themes—four in total—that match the Hexo Cactus (https://probberechts.github.io/hexo-theme-cactus/) theme I use on my blog.

The solution is far from polished, but I wanted to get it out there and receive feedback from real users as early as possible. I’ve already integrated it into my personal blog, so I’m the first real user!

Source code: https://gitlab.com/antonbelev/beblob Demo page: https://antonbelev.gitlab.io/beblob-demo/

Looking forward to your feedback!
