Sweet, a roll-your-own Geocities but in Markdown! I'd like it if this approach took off for personal websites/blogs/social media. Maybe share it with some of those lists of self-hosted alternatives? Like here: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

I've actually been working on my own static website builder in Perl too - though it is nowhere near as sophisticated as a whole hosting platform. Being able to feed these beasts directories of text files, hitting enter and watching it do all the work (using your work) is a pleasure all on its own.
