Editing a list of dependencies or wrangling with package managers doesn’t sound too bad
Disagree. Sounds plenty bad.

My main problem with Jekyll is that it required installing (and keeping up to date, I assume) a Ruby environment

Open and run .\Service\PowerFxService.sln in VS2019. Be sure you're running in VS2019 (not an earlier version)
Foolish constraint.

With that in mind, I'm trying something new, the guided tour for Mu. Ironically, it atomizes my previous docs by linking repeatedly into anchors in the middle of pages. Proceed if you dare.
The current incarnation of the tutorial (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/akkartik/mu/7195a5e88e7657b380c0b410c8701792a5ebad72/tutorial/index.md) starts by describing "Prerequisites[:] You will need[...]", and then goes on to list several things, including various software packages—assuming a Linux system, etc.
This is the idea I'm trying to get across with the self-containedness I've been pursuing (if not with triple scripts then at least with LP docs).
That prerequisites list should be able to replace with two requirements, i.e.:
"You will need: (1) this document, and (2) the ability to read it (assuming you have an appropriate viewer [which in 2021 is nowhere close to the kind of ask of the old world])"

I do wonder if this will eventually become a burden in the future when Node inevitably falls out of favor.
"burden"

looks like I need a full blown Ruby environment. No thanks!

If a piece of software (or a web site) gets in my way, I usually just give up and move on because that first irritation is usually just the first drip of an approaching cascade of frustration.

Krouse: Another subset of "shit just works" would be—
Leung:"No installation required"?
Krouse: Yeah. "No installation required". [...] as I was just telling you, I spent the last, like... I spent 5 hours over the last two days installing... trying to install software to get something to run. And it's just ridiculous to have to spend hours and hours. If you want to get Xcode to run, it takes— first of all you need a Mac, which is crazy, and then second of all it takes, depending on your internet connection, it could take you a whole day just to get up and running. Why isn't it

I no longer know how it works. I don't care to maintain it. It needs big changes to handle something like embedding a Jupyter notebook. And it depends on Python 2.6(!).With hundreds of pages, and its own custom URL layout that I don't want to break, I dread migrating

Use node.js v10.2.1 (there are specific bugs in each of v8.x, v9.x, v10.0, and v10.3 that each cause telebit to crash)

If you want to assemble it, you must download the Netwide Assembler
To assemble 512 bytes? We can do better than that.
