I know puttering with the site probably shouldn’t be the point of my site’s existence —

but it kinda is

Learned enough JavaScript that Elder.js almost make sense, and it offers many delightful SEO complaints. Could keep me busy for a while!

@Cordelya That’s exactly what I did.

Two years instead of two weeks but hey whatever right? We all need to sleep in sometimes.

I don’t follow enough folks where I need to worry about it quite yet, but Mastodon supports organizing the accounts you follow into lists.

So if I follow enough where I start to get lost, I can put them in a list and add a column to the big web interface. All Tweetdeck-like.

@SkipSandwichDX Same TweetDeck flow, and same expectation if my Fediverse feed reaches a similar volume.

Which at the rate I’m adding folks, it could happen!

@yenzie Elder.js has some conceptual similarities to Nanoc, another never-deployed favorite. Mainly the idea of describing your site structure with code, those descriptions being in predictable locations, yet things still being more freeform than say a Nikola where things are configured in code but fly off the rails when you step outside its assumptions.

Also? npm run build across my full site is 11s. Only Hugo and Zola are faster than that.

@SkipSandwichDX Yes! As is traditional for wedding pictures.

Me: TypeScript’s gonna be so much better than Mypy, with types not just hints.

The code:ComponentOptionsBase<any, any, any, any, any, any, any, any, any, {}>

I have made a — well not a mistake. No.

I have made a decision based on a wildly inaccurate assessment.

Ah well. Onward!

@yenzie It may be a while.
