Some extra info here https://beepb00p.xyz/site.html#easier_blogs (probably need to merge the two)

* why use static blog?

[2019-09-15] static blog: benefits of having it compiled with git directory โ€“ it's trivial to track changes

just need to make sure there are no random ids/hashes etc

[2019-09-04] Normal are too linear, can't trick them into doing what I want

[2019-09-02] everything you don't like you can hack in code [[self]]

code can do literally anything you wish, this is very empowering

* what makes it hard?

why it's hard: proper search (e.g. stemming)

why it's hard: limiting feed size

make something generic for Hakyll?

why it is hard: making them useful for non-programmers

[2019-12-26] link to sad-infra

ugh, nondeterministic order of outputs? [[blog]] [[sympy]]

  • didn't help: import random; random.seed(0)

---

don't be afraid to use conventional command line tools [[ipynb]]

example with stripping private todos

why it may seem unreliable or hacky, it's very effortless to try it out and in conjunction with
version control for your outputs, you're unlikely to mess anything up massively

as a tip: have a test page

post about screenshot comparison

[2019-09-21] could post that separately?

[2019-09-21] change CSS on tags and demonstrate it?

checker that anything that was ever on my blog is still available (post about it too!)

[2019-09-02] link checker kinda does that?

firefox responsive view thing

meta: technical choices

  • State "STRT" from "TODO" [2019-02-18]

minimalistic design

disqus: I'd love to use something elseโ€ฆ

sorry for that: I'm still allowing guest comments though

Editing blog [[cloudmacs]]

if possible, use file: links in .org files instead of HTML links [[org]]

E.g. instead of

[[./sad-infra.html#why][here]]

, you can use:

[[file:sad-infra.org::#why][here]]

Benefit of the latter is that link also works in org-mode source (unlike the former). During the export it's automatically resolved to HTML.

about storing data in git repository, report via diff

Post about symlink watcher thing?

feature of org-compile: output files. wonder how would you achieve that in pandoc

[2020-01-13] why it's hard: nondeterminism [[ipynb]]

link to issue with seaborn
