After deciding not to use static HTML pages for my website, in order to make my website appear more "active", I looked around for some content management system for a single user. Mostly the list boils down to blogging software. Now I don't want to use MySQL or Postgresql (preferring SQLite), so the list shrinks even more. Unfortunately as this post showed, SQLite sputtered too. So now I was reduced to using flat-files. So scratch all software.
Now I'm not a programmer for anything! With strong NIH syndrome to boot. So I decided to write my own. I've been mulling over it for some days, and the idea was that the system would basically handle documents which have tagged. No folders, etc. Just tags.
I had just finished writing the tag database management library, when I realized IkiWiki probably did everything I wanted it to do (and better!). Not wanting to abandon whatever I had already done (after all I'd sacrificed lunch :) ), I continued, and Webfiler 0.1 was born.
It's now working nicely enough to be running my website. I'll put up the sources sometime.
