Open notes with a running list of things I’m working on for this site.

DEC 2024

  • Build roadmap for Garmin posts migration
    • Fetch activity summaries over as an archive
    • Build a yearly summary per activity
  • Add webmentions to the site. Thanks, Hugo!
    • Tweak CSS to display webmentions properly. Maybe explore this.
    • Maybe explore setting up an interactions content type like Jessica
  • Fix syndication issues
    • Limit RSS Feed fetch to just 5 recent posts
    • Make FrontMatter updates Camelcase proof
    • Consolidate into just one GO script
    • Figure out how to fetch synd links for micro posts without embed links1
  • Consolidate categories2
  • Convert old tweets to a summary page on this portal
  • Merge old instagram posts to the photos page3
  • Maybe add some pagination to the micro page
  • Migrate old PixelFed photos over.
  • Add a proper comment form for posts4.
  • Setup a script to autopost to GoToSocial.

NOV 2024

  • Used lonekorean’s fantastic wordpress-export-to-markdown tool to convert WP xml to markdown
  • learned that the hugo server and hugo build serve different purposes
  • Setup aliases on NUC and Thinkpond to quickly build and publish. Moved the actual publishing workflow to the Thinkpond and retained the main static site on the NUC.
  • Fixed permalinks to prevent link rot, almost?
  • Fixed RSS feed issues
    • For posts tagged as micro set the title to just date+time so that micro.blog picks it up as a note and not display the title.
  • Migrate older posts as deemed fit
  • Build a proper archive page. Made some decent progress, thanks to D’Arcy Norman’s, pointers here .
  • Build a proper photo gallery

  1. Decided to add a permalink to each post at the end. A shortcode automatically fetches the permalink and adds it to the end of each post. ↩︎

  2. Wrote a quick GO script to consolidate these ↩︎

  3. Moved the photos over. Decided to leave the photo notes behind. ↩︎

  4. Decided to use ISSO over Remark42 ↩︎
