Blogging with Gleam, Org-Mode and Pandoc

This article describes a highly automated, opinionated publishing workflow that keeps content creation inside Emacs/Org-mode while using Pandoc, Nix, Gleam, and Blogatto to generate a static site. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic takeaway is that a typed, reproducible toolchain can reduce publishing friction, improve maintainability, and standardize content operations—at the cost of deeper platform specificity and a stronger dependency on engineering discipline. It also illustrates how “small” internal tooling choices can compound into better developer experience, lower operational variance, and more durable documentation workflows across teams.
