After nearly two years without updates, Blog-Doc is back with a complete rewrite.<br>Inspired by lessons learned while building Aether, this new version brings powerful<br>features while returning to the project's original philosophy: keeping a Node.js CMS and<br>static site generator as simple, lightweight, and enjoyable to use as possible.

It's been almost two years since<br>Blog-Doc received an update.

I was away for a while and only recently came back. While looking through my<br>open-source projects, I realized I had completely<br>forgotten about Blog-Doc, and I had a decision to make: should I archive it now that its<br>successor, Aether, was launched a year<br>ago? There were a lot of questions to answer about the project I like the most.

Blog-Doc was actually the reason I created<br>LiteNode in the first place. Later came Aether, a<br>much deeper evolution of Blog-Doc itself.

After coming back, it took me nearly an hour to remember some of Aether's internal<br>workings, and I didn't like that feeling at all. The goal of Blog-Doc has always been to<br>be The Simplest Node.js CMS & SSG . I felt that Aether, while still<br>being easy and pleasant to work with, had drifted away from that philosophy and was making<br>simple tasks more complex internally.

That realization made me reconsider a lot of things.

So, I took most of Aether's features and brought them into Blog-Doc while staying true<br>to my original philosophy:

"Simpler is always better. More is unnecessary noise when less can do the<br>job."

Today, I'm happy to announce the<br>latest major rewrite of Blog-Doc.

Give it a try, I think<br>you'll be amazed by its simplicity and features!

And if you like it, please don't forget to star it on<br>GitHub. Thanks in advance for your support!
