Last week, I published a post about building a minimal blogging platform with Pandoc.

This week, I updated the prototype with filtering, tagging, and automatic index generation.

I would love some feedback on the look and feel, navigation, and the filtering and tagging.

Could you see yourself using something like this as a blogging platform?

Tentando começar uma postagem semanal com uma seleção de achados e perdidos. Aqui vai o primeiro Eco.

Ecos I

Diário de Bordo Esse tipo de resumo semanal sempre me chamou atenção nos blogs pessoais que sigo. Como cada pessoa tem gostos e interesses diferentes, sempre tem algo legal pra descobrir nesses resumos semanais. Hora de começar o meu. A ideia é simples: compartilhar semanalmente as coisas interessantes que topei nas mais variadas jornadas pela internet durante a semana. São os ecos das minhas viagens. Espero que seja algo semanal, todo domingo, mas não quero ter a pressão de compartilhar só por compartilhar, então as vezes, talvez pule uma semana ou outra. Enfim, divirta-se! Se achar algo interessante, me manda um e-mail clicando no botão lá em baixo.

Nominations for Tiny Awards, for personal web projects, open now

Nominations for the 2026 Tiny Awards, are being accpted until the end of the month, June. Entry is open to websites of a non-commercial and/or personal nature, launched between July 2025 and July 2026. Submissions from brands and agencies are not accepted. The same goes for apps. Given only relatively new websites are eligible, I'm thinking recent events across the world will form the focus or subject matter of a number of nominations.

Finally got around to putting opengraph tags into all the web pages on ferenbrooke.com – hopefully I didn't break anything with a typo lol.

This link should have a preview box: https://www.ferenbrooke.com/short-stories/fabric.html

Also changed the font in the header title to cursive. Properly productive indieweb weekend.

Fabric

After three months in the factory I’d earned my stripes. Those stripes took the form of burn scars and shallow lacerations; operating injection presses is not necessarily risk-free. Once I was marked as one of them, the factory workers began to treat...

Whenever I look for recipes online I feel the strong urge to post a rant very much like this, so I'm happy to share this instead as it saves me a ton of writing, and I'll just add a few thoughts of my own.

I'm not so much bothered by the flood of ads and videos as that can be easily fixed with an adblocker. What I can't wrap my head around is how Google very visibly makes the web a worse place, forcing people to fill it with tons of SEO bullshit to please Google's algorithm (if they care to be found that is). Recipe sites make this painfully visible. Every recipe these days comes with one or two pages of SEO bollocks you gotta skip through to get to the recipe. I assume they're mostly AI generated slop these days and I can't even blame them for saving themselves some work as no one's ever gonna read that shit anyways, besides Google's crawlers. The readers know it's bullshit, people even made browser add-ons that remove the garbage and/or extract/scrape the recipe part somehow. The creators know it's bullshit and you'll find a "jump to recipe" (or rather "skip the bullshit") button at the top of most recipe pages these days. Google (most likely) is aware that this is bullshit, however they have no urge whatsoever to improve their search as they know websites gotta cater to their crap algorithms if they want to exist. So instead of Google fixing it (which they easily could), everyone just plays along and finds their own ways to cope and work around Google, be it with browser add-ons or "skip the SEO trash that's here solely because Google demands it" buttons. It's just sad.

As for the rest of the post: amen!

PS: Thanks to @kagihq for their "small web", I most certainly would never have come across this post otherwise.

a minor appreciation for the otherwise inexcusable behavior of cooking websites

My favorite recipes are all over. Screenshots, pdfs, bookmarked links, written note cards. Its a mess. But I do this because, well... <div style="text-al...
