I'd like to know which software you are using to maintain your
capsules. Do you write them in nano/vim/etc. or do you use speciallized
apps?

i primarily write my content in Emacs on my laptop, using yasnippet
templates to insert standard content for certain types of pages, though
i also sometimes use Vim for small edits.

i write directly in gemtext. This is then run through a Perl script i
wrote to generate HTML for the (JavaScript-free) Web mirror of my
capsule. Using a consistent format within my gemtext - e.g. for footnote
references and the footnotes themselves - allows me to generate HTML
with suitable values for the 'class' attribute, which i can then style
using CSS. Example page: https://flexibeast.space/gemlog/2024-05-15.html

'Publishing' is done via a shell script which uses rsync over ssh to
copy the content from my laptop to a staging area on my server. i then
run a shell script on my server to copy content from the staging area to
'production'.
