As part of this new blog, my intension is to make heavier use of the Notes functionality. The hope is that it reduces some of the burdon I involuntarily place on myself when writing a new blog post. A mind hack to get me to “just write and post stuff”. History suggests it won’t work, but it’s worth a shot.
This of course does make for even more fuzzy boundaries with the more common “microblogging” on the fediverse.
Booting into a tiling window manager, where everything is accessed via keyboard shortcuts, and you've forgotten all the shortcuts.... Is an experience.
After a long period of silence, a blog post! Nothing much, just dipping my toe back into blogging, kicking the tyres.

Have set up a self hosted RSS reader.
Now the age old problem of finding good active feeds.
Merged upstream Gotosocial to my fork.
All The Conflicts!
Ha, didn't expect it to flat out drop the video.
Maybe unsupported format.
Leave it for now, unlikely I'll use it... Unless... I'll try adding a gif, that probably get converted to a video
Replies to self aren't showing in the main profile timeline either. Unsure if that's out of the box behaviour, or down to one of my tweaks. Either way. Todo: fix it.
- style the notes and note pages
- get the RSS feed from the blog to post to this GTS account
- Link fedi replies to said posts to show as blog comments
- get webmentions working on the blog posts and notes
Main Todos:
- style the status pages
- make the whole design responsive
- setup CI pipeline to publish Hugo blog from git repo
Ok, so, I knew I needed to style boosts so that they don't appear as my own posts. But it doesn't seem to pull attachments on boosts by default, which I wasn't expecting.
Coming along nice... but slow.
Took me an age to get replies and unlisted posts to the profile page.
Also split out pins and media into their own columns.
