Bookish—An Install Profile for Static Drupal Blogs

bookish image filter

Some of you might be familiar with tome.fyi, a static site generator for Drupal 9. With Tome, the content is stored as static JSON files. Unlike other generators Tome uses “vanilla” Drupal, which means that if you know how to build a Drupal site, you know how to build a Tome site!

One downside of this is that when comparing a default install of Drupal with a default install of something like Gatsby, Drupal looks pretty outdated. That is why a long time Drupal developer Samuel Mortenson focused his energy on a new install profile for static blogs - Bookish.

Bookish is similar to core’s standard profile, but every feature has been tweaked to provide the best out of the box experience possible.

Bookish should be installed with Tome. Instructions are available on Github. You can also see a demo Bookish site here: Bookish Demo

Bookish Admin, a module that Samuel Mortenson maintains contains all modules used by the Bookish install profile, which can be used on any site. These modules focus on content editing and performance enhancements for vanilla-ish Drupal.
