Nyiblorong vs Medusa - Which to Choose?

Nyiblorong (Old):

  • Framework: Bootstrap 5
  • Size: 60kb CSS + 20kb JS
  • Collections: Hardcoded posts only
  • Sorting: date only
  • Features: Basic pagination
  • URL: Relative → 404 bug
  • Template: .html only

Best for: Bootstrap lovers, quick starter.

Medusa (New) V2.1.0:

  • Framework: Axcora CSS ~10kb
  • Size: 5x lighter, Lighthouse 95+
  • Collections: Free - every folder auto collection
  • Sorting: date/title/featured/category/author free
  • Features: posts.nyiblorong[:3], limit(), where(), prev_post, next_post, related_posts, TOC, reading_time
  • URL: Absolute fix, all variants generated
  • Template: .html + .pax with PAXLoader

Best for: Modern blog, performance focused, free collections, Python slicing.

Migration:

Change templates/ from Bootstrap classes to Axcora CSS - mostly same: .container, .row, .col-lg-4, .card, .navbar still works!

Content stays same Markdown + YAML.

Build: python ssg.py same!

So Medusa is drop-in replacement but lighter and more free.
