I’m currently building my first custom theme for my landing page with Astro and refining both the design and the code. 🚀
made some progress, but stymied in my efforts to hand-write a `zsh` static blog builder for markdown files and html templates. particularly difficult areas:
- using `toml` frontmatter and site-wide configuration values.
- shortcodes called from within a markdown post, which render media embeds at that point.
- prev/next pagination.
- lists and counts for taxonomies and posts.
- recursive operations.
still learning shell intricacies and arcana. the journey continues.
DRY stands for Don’t Repeat Yourself.
I am pleased to have done something I have been meaning to do for a long time: clean up the multiple repeated layout templates and Hugo conditional code that generates all my microblog-style content:
* likes
* replies
* notes
* RSVPs
* and the latest one I added: books (preview below)

I Am Too Lazy for Webmentions
I keep seeing other authors talk about webmentions. I occasionally pull up the spec, read it, and then, immediately close it. Honestly, I am just too lazy to deal with it.

Ich habe etwas gebaut, das ich mir seit Jahren gewünscht habe.
Wikipedia dokumentiert Fakten. HED dokumentiert, was Wikipedia nicht kann — wie es sich wirklich angefühlt hat, etwas zu erleben.
Hinterlasse eine Geschichte. Lies die von anderen. Oder drück einfach auf Zufällig und schau, was auftaucht.
hedarchive.org
J'ai construit quelque chose que je voulais voir exister depuis des années.
Wikipédia documente les faits. HED documente ce que Wikipédia ne peut pas — ce qu'on a vraiment ressenti en vivant quelque chose.
Laissez une histoire. Lisez celle de quelqu'un d'autre. Ou appuyez sur Aléatoire et voyez ce qui apparaît.

Deja una historia. Lee la de otro. O simplemente pulsa Aleatoria y ve qué aparece.
