By the way, do you have a personal website and does it have a home page? (I’m pretty sure it does… 😁)

I would love to know: what’s on your “home” and why?

Feel free to share a link, of course. 🤗 As always, I’m also asking on behalf of my #OwnYourWeb newsletter subscribers.

@matthiasott links to all of the notes on the site. I read somewhere that pagination is pointless if you have a static site and are not making requests to a database, thought “oh yeah fair point” and put them ALL there. Has a nice side effect of being able to just cmd/ctrl+F to search the titles.

@rachsmith @matthiasott i take this a step further and put all titles _and_ content on the homepage of my notes site for precisely this reason.

granted, i have some constraints such as no notes have inline images, so the only resource the page loads is the initial HTML document. i can load _a lot_ of text for cheap.

but it's super easy to search my entire collection of notes by just visiting the home page. no need for special search functionality or indexing.
