Swift your personal website using Publishj

" summary

Builds a personal website as a Swift package using Publish, imports it via Swift Package Manager in Xcode, and generates static HTML with Plot and Ink (Plot is a type‑safe HTML DSL, Ink parses Markdown). Site output lands in an output folder with sitemap and RSS, local preview runs on localhost:8000, and deployment targets GitHub Pages. Notes: Publish has 51 plugins available, supports dark mode and accessibility labels, and required a fork to update a macOS package version so the site builds.
