✨Navi✨Why use a microblog when mastodon/bluesky/tumblr/etc. exists?
I did a little dive into why I created a separate static microblog, and how it's made.
I got my micropub endpoint all implemented! I can post to my statuslog/microblog without having to manually edit html if I don't want to.
I was inspired by @arimamary who managed to get it working on their site and mentioned using Quill!
This is much easier than typing raw html in github lol.
I updated my "now"/status microblog so that I can archive posts for every year. I was inspired to do this with the original template by NomNomNami, but I used some javascript to make sure that my anchor links to each post still work. Very cool!
Even if you click on this link next year, it will redirect to the correct post on the yearly archive page.
I fixed the filters function on my fanfic archive to collapse and display all the tags rather than scroll! It'll be easier to use now (lol). Small improvements!
I managed to adapt the mastodon static comments idea to Publii but it was also a lot of work OTL. At least the comments are saved, and I don't have to ping the server every time.
I don't have it in me to type up a whole post, but I basically download the comments with a script and setup a template to display them in Publii.

Okay this is probably the hardest thing I've done so far in terms of website development. I made the mastodon-comments system on my website static! That means even if (hopefully never) this server goes down, I'll still be able to retain some of the comments. https://blog.pomnavi.net/posts/0011-turning-mastodon-comments-into-static-comments-on-my-astro-blog/ #NaviBlogs #NaviWebDev #blogging #comments

Every time @arimamary links something cool, I end up having a new project I want to do lol.
I put together something similar to status.cafe or status.lol with the Pastille template by NomNomNami.
It doesn't have RSS or anything, so it just looks similar.
As part of my ongoing website shenanigans, I finally created a photo archive for all my travel and other photography.
I created my own fanfic archive website based on some cool ideas I've seen floating around.
@arimamary thanks for the inspo! Your post started this whole thing.

I swear this is the last time I blog about blogging LOL. It's getting tiresome even for me.
I finally caved and started using Astro
