Having my own markdown-centric website is such a joy.
I can jot down notes on my phone, sync them with my laptop to enjoy a full keyboard, and post whatever I want there.
I can reshape my website to adapt to the kind of content I want to publish, and not the other way around. I can welcome feedback on my own terms.
My notes, my thoughts, my posts will be there in the long run. That's the old web I love, with a new coat of paint.
