Last night I attended the Indieweb Homebrew Website Club Meeting. Wrote a short blog post about it. And I'm testing out a new iteration of my website where everything is written by hand!

Woah this is really cool! William Parker wrote a @powRSS plugin for Obsidian to get the Discovery feature in a launch file.

"That makes my heart swell in appreciation that there are still people, groups of people who think this idea still should exist. And not only that, but if you were around on the web since before Web 2.0, this almost feels like a resurgence of how the web was before corporations took over."

I'm in the process of rebuilding my website without any static site generators. I've been using Jekyll for almost 10 years.

Today I learned #emacs can handle most of my "templating" with simple search and replace.

Emacs is replacing my static site generator without having to install external packages!!

My decision to manually do all HTML on the site comes after reading Jarret Fuller's Essay:

Still one of my favorite quotes from Annie Mueller regarding tutorials written by developers:

"Hello! I am a developer. Here is my relevant experience: I code in Hoobijag and sometimes jabbernocks and of course ABCDE++++ (but never ABCDE+/^+ are you kidding? ha!) and I like working with Shoobababoo and occasionally kleptomitrons. I’ve gotten to work for Company1 doing Shoobaboo-ing code things and that’s what led me to the Snarfus. So, let’s dive in!"
