Think I might make my RSS link to an "in-between" page which explains what RSS actually is and provides some options, and THEN the actual RSS link. Why? RSS is old (even though it's great!) and most people dunno what it is lol. xD Being linked to just "some XML" is probably confusing for a lot of people. I would be confused if I didn't know what it was!

Ifffff anyone is bored and wants something to do xD, I'd really appreciate any feedback on this guide thus far. Does reading it give you a good idea of what NotSSG does? Or does it leave you O_O? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I would start the overview with a brief, easily-digestible explanation of how it works, rather than try to communicate that by defining each file's purpose. Ease folks into the technical bits!

Also I see the layout file my-layout.html has a .txt and .js extention at different points

Thanks a lot skep, that's honestly some great feedback! And woops, my bad haha! The correct filename is my-layout.html.js, I'll get that sorted!
One feature I think is useful in NotSSG is its server friendly, automatic cache busting. NotSSG cache busts every 15 minutes of the hour, meaning your visitors won't have to do a full reload (Ctrl+F5) and Neocities servers are respected. If you prefer however, you can also trigger NotSSG's cache busting instantly/manually for your visitors by declaring "CACHE_BUST: [some_number]" in the config file.

PHEW! I've just implemented my upcoming Static Ultra alternative into my entire site. My site now runs off the file system (no web server needed), which is really neat lol. xD I'm gonna use the next couple weeks to test NotSSG whilst writing the docs, and should be releasing 1.0 sometime after then!
Hey all, if you'd like to see a preview of my new project NotSSG, I've put a couple preview screenies which I think paints a good picture, nyaaaaar! https://bsky.app/profile/scott222.bsky.social/post/3mewhykz6l22n

Well, all my side hobbies and therefore work on my site/projects will be completely out of the window for a while. Tomorrow I finally get to play FF7 Remake, which I've been waiting for since PS4 announce (a decade ago) lol.

Just some simplification/adjustments to the templating system on my site. The "boilerplate" code was affected, so I had to re-upload every single page. xD If you've visited recently, you maaay need to do a Ctrl+F5 here and there due to caching shenanigans. Sorry about that!
