Content generation is the next big topic on my mind now I’ve got most of the basic Hammer features in place (subject to hardening and improvement of course).
I’m going to start a new topic thread on this and I’d be interested in your thoughts
I’d love to give it a try! I didn’t discover hammer existed until after it was no longer available. I’m looking for something to generate a personal blog/microblog/work showcase site and I haven’t liked any of the typical static site generation tools so far.
Hello everyone, another OG user here (I have emails with Steve from 2015)!
I’m really happy to see that it’s coming back. A couple of weeks ago, I built a static site using Parcel.js, which felt like the closest thing to what Hammer was.
@carlos Amazing to see you, has it been 10 years OMG.
Parcel.js is a great open source project, I should probably have just built a wrapper around it but I really fancied seeing how far I could go fully native in swift…
I’m not an original user, I’m completely new, but I want to simplify my web publishing and cut out the CMS. I’ve said before I’d like a markdown option - perhaps some begin/end marker to specify where it is - but I think I can put some time in to giving feedback.
Read with interest about this tool. I’ve wanted to use something similar to the old Libraries functionality in Dreamweaver from decades ago, and the brilliant static generator in Espresso. I’d love to give Hammer a try.
Im a hobbyist web dev. Really miss the ease of rapid weaver, played around with Publii, I never seem to have the time to try Hugo. Would love to give Hammer a shot.
I used the original Hammer for Mac and loved it for simple sites and developing rapid proof of concepts to present to the team. After I learned Hammer’s development had ended, I tried a variety of other options. They tended to require me to modify my workflow and included many tools that often didn’t serve my needs. I’ve been tempering my excitement since the announcement but I would love the opportunity to try the updated version of Hammer for Mac!
Actually, @steve I have a family web project that’s just landed with me which is screaming out for Hammer. Would be extremely interested in testing this out.
Elliot! Great to see you. I’m travelling right now, but I’ll be in touch early next week to share Hammer with you - really looking forward to hearing what you think
Would love to try the new Hammer—happy to help any way I can! I’m an old Hammer enthusiast. I once wrote about it on my long neglected website. I’d absolutely love to use it again.
In today’s bloated tech world, I’m drawn to small simple tools that work well.
I’m a sole designer for a local tech company, after freelancing and doing web dev at a marketing agency. I work mainly in Figma nowadays, but go to HTML for prototyping, where something like Hammer would be ideal.
I’m interested in updating my own website, currently built with Jekyll. I’ve barely touched it in years. I’ve less of an appetite for learning another static site framework like 11ty, and would love to use an even more minimalist tool like Hammer for a website redesign, where I don’t need or want fancy tooling or a thousand options, and just get straight to HTML.
I also miss playing around with HTML and CSS just for fun, or making simple, fun web projects. Hammer would really help. Please sign me up!
