Thomas Payne - This website

The darfk.net website

This website is static HTML generated using a single Rust source file and the maud crate. I chose this method because it allows me to quickly create content, learn rust and have a good time. I also do not really like writing XML. While I see the value in learning a static HTML framework, they're a bit overkill for what I need. At some point I might integrate markdown into this. Some pages are read from markdown files and rendered using this application.

the source?

here it is:
