Middleman

Anyone still using Stylus? Planning to remove from v5.0 otherwise.

@villek We support Sass/Scss out of the box, no JS needed.

@ggarron Very cool. If you're interested in sharing back into the unreleased (and outdated) one we have on GitHub, that'd be awesome: github.com/middleman/midd…

Taking the forum down today to upgrade the server. Hope to be back online by end of day.

@TheNotoriousSDE With lots of JS you'll have to bring your own JS tooling (webpack, etc) or avoid all that and use native JS modules. Probably same between v4 and v5

@chufucious You might need to tell the markdown parser to stop being so clever with quote usage: middlemanapp.com/advanced/templ… set :markdown, :smartypants => false

Poking my head up to say: 1. GitHub Sponsors is pretty cool. If you sponsor, Microsoft will match, which is helpful when I need to pay some server costs: github.com/sponsors/tdrey… 2. Please reach out if you're someone who wants to help. There's no core team, it's just @tdreyno.

@hugowiz @AtomEditor You're welcome. Great work!

Many thanks to @middlemanapp for the awesome website framework and @AtomEditor for the great editor!

Progressing through the day with my oneatatime planner: uploaded revision 49 of the website one-at-a-time.biz/index.html Next step will be to have a nice 404 page #timemanagement #oneatatime

Make collaboration easier on your #JamStack website with our new Static Site editor introduced in @gitlab v12.10. It currently supports @middlemanapp with others coming soon. Check it out: buff.ly/2VQnzOB

@cabgfx @andrewmcodes @bridgetownrb Popping in to the thread to say: A: Bridgetown rules B: Sometimes projects accomplish their goals and are stable. I'll always fix breaking bugs, but the infinity treadmill of new features isn't that appealing after 13 years. Lemme know if you're stuff is broken, I'll fix it.

@MWardsky i18n hasn't seen a lot of change. Should work as it did in v4. Issues can go here: github.com/middleman/midd…

In testing Middleman v5 beta's incremental build system, we're seeing up to 5x speed improvement on VERY large sites (thousands of pages). Please test it out so we feel confident launching!

@steveparrynz If you have lots of extensions, they may not be updated (and will likely lag behind the official extensions). Spockets is nearly dead. So, v5 isn't a great fit for that. Otherwise, I'd love if you ran it (master) on your repo & reported any issue so we can better write docs.

@middlemanapp Any upgrade instructions for existing sites?

@j4lenn It's a huge change, causing the final release to take a while. Please open tickets and regressions if you find them. Timing before/after are also helpful.

@middlemanapp I'll play around with it, exciting!!

@middlemanapp is there hope for incremental regeneration any time soon? I'm generating a huge site and every day my pipelines get a little longer.

@bellanger_q We do this on the Middleman site itself, using the Redcarpet engine: #L9-L10" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/middleman/midd…

@bellanger_q Ticks are not part of the original Markdown spec. That format is commonly called "Github-flavored Markdown." Middleman support multiple libraries, but you must select one that supports GH-flavor.

Hey @middlemanapp! Isn't there a way to use backticks (```) to properly render Markdown code blocks inside <pre> tag? It only works with tildes (~~~). Otherwise, it is rendered inside a <p> tag.

Want to use Github Actions with Middleman? Here's an example: github.com/middleman/midd… Middleman v5 will ship with an official Docker image. Seems reasonable to make an Action at the same time!

Make sure your Gemfiles are locked to 4.x, because 5.x is right around the corner and will likely take a little time before all 3rd party extensions are compatible (mostly just a gem spec version range update on their end).

@jamstackparis @algolia We’d love to see slides or video if that happens.

The #JAMStack Paris meetup is tonight! 🙌 Join us @algolia at 7PM to hear about how @algolia’s Docs team is scaling out of their Middleman setup, and how #MDX can give authors superpowers 🎤 RSVP: meetup.com/fr-FR/JAMstack…
