Any issues you have or features you'd like, post them here.

If you get a crash it'd be helpful if you could provide your site's source files.

Hi Ryan, thank you for this!

I am having difficulty running this on Ubuntu and on Mac with the same issue appearing on both systems.

I am just building the example folder that is provided so I haven't changed anything yet.

Running:

 ./zoner zoner-example/ 

And I get the output:

Going to work on: 'zoner-example/'!
WARNING: You don't have an images folder containing a favicon; site will be built without one.
Oops! You must have a style folder containing a style.css file

Those folders exist in the example folder but the script can't see them for some reason. I have also tried giving the full path to the folder and that gives the same error.

If I am doing something wrong just let me know and if you would like some more information, I can do my best to get that too!

Thank you so much for checking this out and providing this info. I didn't get a chance to test it on a Mac or Linux system.

The issue was path creation using Windows-style backslashes, an amateur mistake on my part. I've fixed it to be system-agnostic now and it's available in the newest build.

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks again!

Unreal, nice spot.

I have the new version and its working mighty. Thanks a mill!

Im going to give booting up a blog another go!

could you make a version without the prev/next post thing at the bottom and a way to have images get loading=lazy tag

there's a bug with the images folder. if you put another folder in there just to have a bit of organization, zoner will only transfer the folder, but not the contents. this happened to me the few times i tried it on linux.

Hi, I'm trying to use the Mac version of Zoner but there is no file I can run? There is a "zoner" file but it has no extension and won't run.

Thank you!

Hi Witchka, I figured out how to get the Mac version of Zoner working: I opened up a terminal,  used the unix "cd" command to go to the folder where the "zoner" file is located, and then typed the following to get the zoner-example folder built:

./zoner ./zoner-example

If your Mac blocks running it because it's from an unknown developer, you can override that security by pressing the "open anyway" button in the System Settings, for the app and the runtime library files.

Thanks so much! I'll give it a shot when I've got a moment. :)

Hi Ryan, any chance you could set up a way to add snippets for cusdis?  Cusdis is at cusdis.com; it's an open source version of disqus.com.  Thanks, Ryan!  I'm ready to deploy a website (that I'll be actively updating)  using zoner and zonelets and that's the only thing that's holding me back. -Andrew
