I’ve been enjoying working with Quartz as a new version of my website, but the more I customize it to my liking the more I feel like I’m going against the kind of architecture this software is tailored for.
I might just put this aside for a while and try something like Hugo for comparison.Is there a word for that feeling of melancholy when you are totally full but want to keep eating?
I want a page on my site where I can aggregate interesting links that I find, but I wasn’t sure in what format to save them.
What if I just scan all of my pages for external links, and list them in order that their containing pages were published? Gonna go give that a try… 🏃♂️➡️I just hooked up a Bluetooth keyboard to my phone for the first time and WOW why didn’t I do this sooner?
We found a slug! In our house! Coming down the stairs! It must have ridden in on a package left on the porch.
I tried to type "webpage" but my fingers – of their own accord, and as I watched – typed "website". That is some weird, subconscious stuff going on.
Received my new desk mat from Minimal Desk Setups! It’s really nice, but this will take some time to get used to. I’ve been using a very hard mousepad for a long time, and this is quite different.
That said, experimenting with Quartz gave me a lot of good ideas about how to make authoring new posts much easier!
I was pretty optimistic about moving my entire personal site to Quartz, but there are a lot of little nags that make it not great for a blog format.
No support for pagination, and lots of little issues with RSS are the main ones. Gotta admit that Jekyll just handles it much better.
Quartz is probably best used for exactly what it says: to transform a folder of assorted Markdown files into a functional website. I think I'll keep my blog as-is, and add Quartz as an auxiliary personal wiki.🎬Jay Kelly
This hit me a lot harder than I expected. Wow.
