Blogging in Typst is not that hard

Well it's unreadable on mobile and has no rss, so maybe it needs a bit more work still :)
Make sure to check the HTML before getting too excited about this.
Yeah, I submitted this because I think it's a hilarious hack, not necessarily because I think it's a good idea :p
in this space, i think tufted is an example of a typst template that looks good and works reasonably well. it's still a bit limited though.
i almost embarked on writing a static site generator built around typst content, but i have decided to go with djot instead, due to the typst team actively warning against anyone depending on the current HTML mode
"Everything is in an SVG" obviously breaks responsiveness, and text selection also has some weird edge cases (I can't defocus it by clicking somewhere else, unless I click outside the SVG). There are probably other things broken that I didn't notice.
Anyway, it seems the author uses this hack rather than Typst's HTML export because they don't want (or don't know) how to write CSS?
