Soft launch, because some DNS things might still be happening in the background, so please don't let this go viral.

I switched from Wordpress to Astro and built myself something that'll become a cute digital garden over time.

Some stuff isn't done yet, others is slightly too fleshed out. You know how it goes.

@marcel Looks great. I really like the one column layout (obviously).

@eay I played around with a sidebar but in the end most people will look at this on their phones anyway. (thanks!)

xsan64,

@marcel Looking great! Nice blinking avatar at the top 😀

(think you have a stray full stop on your About page)

@xsan64 Thanks! And you're right, will be fixed. :)

@marcel Neat, I really like the library highlights! My site used to be static, but I ended up never making any changes/updates because it was too tedious, so I’m also rebuilding it right now, based on a CMS. Had a few similar ideas (library, changelog page, posts vs shorts/snippets). Currently importing 150 blog posts from all kinds of platforms to be all in one place, where they should be. 🫠

@marcel the design is gorgeous, Marcel!

@marcel welcome to Astro-land. 😉 And congratulations on the launch. 😊 It’s looking really good!

If you do ever get bored / annoyed at writing your blog posts in a code editor, maybe my @mattrbld is for you, it’s meant to give you the best of both worlds: a CMS and a statically generated site. 😉

@amxmln tip: Names with some letters/vowels removed are hard to type and to pronounce. (Especially if you’re inconsistent at it, like with mattrbld.) Just leave them in.

@davidculley thanks, yeah, naming stuff is really hard. 😅

Weird, I built a highlight for the active page that works in my local environment but doesn't seem to work when deployed.

@marcel I‘m reading this 19h in and it’s probably solved, but was it trailing slashes?

marcel,
@marcel@mastodon.social avatar

@arne Interesting. I haven't solved it yet and I only thought about leading slashes. Not sure where trailing slashes would come in?

arne,
@arne@spezi.social avatar

@marcel Sometimes the platform you're deploying to adds (or removes) the trailing slash—I know this kind of thing happened to me at least twice. But it looks like you're using a static site—it could also be the live reload server vs static (built) page.

So, one thing I would try is running astro build locally and then serving the dist directory locally (i.e. by cd'ing into it and running python3 -m http.server 8080).

@arne You were right and @danjel created a pull request that just got merged. Thank you both! 🫶
