writing from anywhere#
The problem with all of my previous personal sites is that I got stuck on the site part. I suppose mostly what I would like to show the world, because that is what I would like to get paid for, is the content. But I did spend a lot of time learning about design to get to every layout. And a lot about static site generators and semantic html to know it's all mostly built in anyway.
So the site is quite basic, the only thing I asked for is Svelte, the rest is whatever was the minimal solution to a need that arose at some point in time. And might have been added to power a joke in a forgotten article, but now underpins the whole thing.
simple pipeline#
Getting content from anywhere means keeping is simple. A markdown file can be written anywhere, in the GitHub app or on github.com for nerds, in obsidian if you are the coolest nerd in the room, on Google keep, in an email, in a chat app, recorded and transcribed locally and for free in a number of different ways.
In any case, getting a text to html pipeline that ends up with that content getting published to a custom domain isn't that hard these days. Especially if you don't mind an agent seeing the text along the way. And if it is going to be public anyway, what's wrong with that?
can mostly be automated#
The publishing part is also mostly automated, it's just pushing to the right branch. In some cases you don't even have to do that yourself, you xou just send an article to an agent and ask them to publish it, or check it first if you want some feedback. But in essence, once it's written, it just has to be our in the right place and have the right front matter to get published. That's simple enough.
content is good enough and can be edited later anyway#
Who cares if that title is a little long, it's good enough to be published and be edited later anyway.
