New blog!
I've spent the last few months building my new personal site and one thing I really wanted to include was a little blog. I've experemented with blogging before and I've found that it's easier to express myself in long(ish) form writing moreso than tweeting. I have a very hard time keeping my thoughts concise.
I would have really liked to host this on my site directly but honestly it turned out to be a major pain in the ass. I built my site with Next.js and actually did have a working blog using the unified.js ecosystem which I was kinda proud of.
Unfortunatley I chose Cloudflare Pages as my host because I really didnt feel like making it full stack as its kind of unnecessary imo. This sucked because the way I read my markdown files was by using 'fs' from Node which is not supported. I guess I should have seen that coming!
I proooobably could have rewritten the whole thing in some convoluted way where I dont have to use any Node stuff but honestly its nicer if I don't have to think about it.
This blog is now hosted on Bear, I like it a lot actually. It reminds me of some of the neat Gemini protocol page/blog tools I've used before (smol.pub) but with some nicer QOL.
Anyway, I wanna kind of try to post monthly - I don't know what most of these will be about. At the moment most of my creative focus is on music so probably that but I dont want to constrain myself to one thing.
You probably picked this up from this post but in case you're not aware: I am not a good writer. I'm pretty prone to rambling but, hey, maybe it adds some personal flare :3
Hope to see you on the next one <3
