Quarto, AI, and the Art of Getting Your Life Back

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Convert an existing WordPress blog by paste raw HTML into QMD files (only add a Quarto header), automate publish with Quarto Render Hooks that call an R script and rsync so sites deploy from the project file without touching a terminal, and use AI to generate CSS and JavaScript for a 3D hover effect and a seven-item image carousel. Result: faster static site, no server updates, easier maintenance, and the features work after minor manual fixes.
