i started developing the 3rd iteration of reef today. ai makes it so easy to experiment, learn and start over.
1st iteration ended up as an agent-first ssg.
2nd iteration was more skills-based and built on top of publishing platforms.
with this 3rd iteration i've limited myself to wordpress only: an agent-based runtime that takes markdown as input and outputs to wordpress.
much more limited than the prev versions, but feels like something finally clicked.
continuing on reef today.
first version was turning into a local AI wiki builder, which is not what i was aiming for, so i decided to start over.
with this next version I'm taking more of a skills based approach: a small local runtime that can read, write, build, design and publish.
i haven't told anyone yet, but i recently ported the original jottit code base (that I wrote with Aaron Swartz back in 2007) to a similar, but more modern stack (flask+jinja2+SQLAlchemy). it now runs on https://jottit.pub.
it still needs a bit of work, but seeing jottit alive again after all these years was actually quite moving.
there is also something nice about retro software :)
