Moved my personal website from to this weekend, and started with a great template/theme by @lukem.

  • Build time is down from approx 2 min to 5 seconds. - Full text should now be available in RSS (and kept the link the same!).
  • Repo is now hosted on instead of GitHub (I think this is site number 3 to transition)

Biggest desire is less dependencies to have to worry about. Having all posts in markdown did make the transition pretty painless.

The best part of today was waking up and seeing that now has a material you compatible app icon on Android! It was the only app left, and now everything matches!

markpitblado,

@cliffwade that makes sense! I guess the good news is you have can have any icon you like, not just picking between the default and monochrome!

@markpitblado Indeed! Thanks for answering so quickly and sorry for the confusion.

Just got syncthing setup! Can write markdown on the go, have it sync to my notes repo, then just commit and push when I get home! If anyone is intimidated by syncthing, its really not as hard as it sounds from others describing it! Also tested it with and worked brilliantly.

Reading Filterworld right now, and it caused me to reflect on the fact that I have never worried about likes or engagement on posts I make on mastodon. Due to the chronological nature, some things may just entirely miss peoples' feeds (or people may just read and keep scrolling), but that's okay! The point of the platform isn't to achieve fame, it's to communicate with others in a way that respects their time and preferences, to build a better experience for everyone.

@markpitblado I sometimes boost my posts a couple times just so some new people see it and it's pretty alright

Woah looks like @keyoxide just rolled out version 2 of the mobile app, which includes profile management. Very excited to explore more!

Deciding to say goodbye to site analytics. Some of the monthly subscription will go to plausible as a donation, and the rest to other projects.

@markpitblado I totally understand your views. I'm using analytics for my personal blog, just because I like looking at numbers and stats. I'm using a FOSS solution called goatcounter, it's basic but fills my needs just fine

If anyone is looking for a cool new profile pic, @andycarolan is amazing! Was super impressed by the level of communication and overall smoothness of the process!
