Emanote and Zola
I’ve been running Emanote for some time now, but I’ve been disappointed that the latest release was over two years ago. It looks like there is still active development, but the Nix package is currently unmaintained, so there isn’t any impetus around releasing a new package. In order to run a current version of Emanote, I will need to add a github: reference to my Devbox project. My fear is that the current version hosted in GitHub is going to be wildly different from the (unmaintained) Nix package version and it will require significant work to update my site. On the other hand, it does give me an opportunity to learn more about Nix, so it might be worth the risk.
Alternatively, Zola has recently released a new version, and it has any actively maintained Nix package. I’ve been testing the latest version to see if it can support a dual blog/digital garden deployment. I like the idea of Zola running as a single, statically linked binary. I don’t love the idea of converting my blog to yet another static site generator, so this will most likely be an option only if I can’t get the lastest version of Emanote working.
