I made a very silly update to my microblog. I added a follows/followers section! This is different from my "friends" page since this is supposed to mimic masto/bsky/tumblr/etc and is specific to microblogs.
If you're reading this and you are subscribed to the rss feed of my microblog, please let me know so that I can add you! Doubly so if you have a microblog of your own ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊ I would love to follow you!
Here's how I made my guestbook:
I created a guestbook !
It's made using netlify tools, such as blobs, forms, and serverless functions. The entries are stored in a json file.
You can see how it's built at this github repo.
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.
