A blog to follow the updates of Lume, the static site generator for Deno
A new Lume version was released, and it's dedicated to Castelao , probably the most important figure in Galician culture in the 20th century. Castelao studied to be a doctor but, as he said once: "I became a doctor for the love of my father; I don't practice for the love of humanity". He is better known as a politician, writer, painter, caricaturist and many other things. As a caricaturist, one of…
So, you thought that Lume could only generate static sites, right? Not anymore! As of version 3.2, Lume can also create books in EPUB format. That's why I wanted to dedicate this version to one of the most important figures of Galician literature of all time: Rosalía de Castro . You may know Rosalía , the popular Spanish singer. But in Galicia, we have another Rosalía: Rosalía de Castro , probably…
Lume was born 5 years ago as an excuse to try Deno, the new JavaScript runtime. At that moment, the hype around Deno led to many projects featuring a dinosaur in their logo. Lume joined this trend, making a joke with the concept of fire and Deno . I've wanted to change the logo for a long time, and finally, I could manage some time to work on that. There are many reasons for this change: The Lume…
The first minor version of Lume 3 is dedicated to Alexandre Bóveda , a financial officer and politician who was executed on 17 August 1936 by Franco's dictatorship because of his Galician ideals. The night before his death, he wrote three farewell letters, the last one to his brother: [...] I will die peacefully; I trust that I will be received where we all want to get together, and I do it with…
It's been a while (one and a half year!) since LumeCMS was announced as an alternative to other existing CMS to edit the content of websites. During this time, the project was improved in many ways: more field formats, more customization options, light/dark mode, etc. But, like many projects in their earlier phases, LumeCMS was a bit "tricky" to run. It was created as a framework-agnostic…
Vento was born two years ago as an experiment to create a modern, ergonomic, and async-friendly template engine for JavaScript. Initially, it was a Deno-only project, intended to become the default template engine for Lume . But as soon as the NPM package was available , other projects started to use it. During this period, a number of people got involved in the development. wrap made a wonderful…
After launching Lume 2 almost a year and a half ago, a new major version of Lume is here! This version is dedicated to all Galician cantareiras and pandereteiras —women who sing and play the tambourine (or pandeireta ), one of the most important instruments in Galician traditional music. One of these cantareiras was Adolfina Casás Rama (1912-2009), an ancestor of my friend Miriam Casás. She worked…
Feliz aninovo 🎄! New year and new Lume version! This time, I'd like to dedicate it to Pedro Días and Muño Vandilaz, who married on April 16, 1061, almost a thousand years ago. This is the first same-sex marriage documented in Galicia (and the rest of Spain). The wedding took place in a small Catholic chapel. It's surprising to see how homophobic prejudices have changed since then. If you want to…

New plugin: check_urls Broken links are one of the biggest issues on the Web. A recent study detected that 27.6% of the top 10 million sites are dead . And for those sites that are still alive, they are likely to change…
