Introducing devel.tech, a docutils-powered website

Greetings docutils users,

I have recently created a website backed by docutils.  It’s called
https://devel.tech.

-
https://devel.tech/tips/n/sNZwQvNh/django-compressor-vs-django-webpack-loader/
(docutils, with Günter’s html5_polyglot Writer)
- https://devel.tech/site/updates (docutils)
- https://devel.tech/features/django-vs-flask/ (sphinx w/ WebSupport, but I
had to fork it
https://github.com/develtech/sphinxcontrib-websupport/tree/lean)

Docutils provides extensibility, customizability, and great access via
python. The site makes full use of the new html5_polyglot Writer as well as
various other database-backed roles and writer transformations.

My hope is to port sphinx features to work with pure docutils and open
source them as extensions. This way more people can leverage the power of
pure docutils without pulling in an additional framework.

About reStructuredText and why it was picked over markdown: the language is
consistent, similar enough to markdown, and allows for flexibility via
roles and directives. It was the most powerful, yet nimblest of the two; a
great fit for software developers.

Best,
Tony
