I've been frustrated with static site generators that pile on features like tags, themes, plugins, and endless configs just to get a simple blog running. So I built *BoumWave*: a dead-simple CLI tool that converts your Markdown posts into HTML using your own templates. That's it. No bloat, no learning curve—just pure, fast blogging.

*What it does:*

- *Markdown to HTML, done right*: Write posts in Markdown, generate clean HTML with automatic SEO (Open Graph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD, canonicals).

- *Multilingual from the start*: Native support for multiple languages. Create posts in one command, and it handles the rest.

- *Full template control*: Use your own HTML templates. It auto-inserts posts into your index between `` and ``.

- *Zero config hassle*: One `boumwave.toml` file with everything explained with inline comments. Init, scaffold, write, generate.

MonkeyC is terrible; kind of like ancient Java without the ecosystem. Building for hundreds of different devices with different screen sizes, buttons and capabilities is tough. But it's the only way to build native Garmin apps. Making it work on the Fenix 5 (2017) was emotional. I was trying to get the WiFi sync to work but it appears that Garmin removed the WiFi capability at some point in the last year (missing symbols) and memory constraits (OOM issues) are real.

I then released it using Garmin's Connect IQ native Trial/Unlock capability - which unbeknown to me has been broken for 2 years - so I had to ro
