shaky.sh

July 2024 Site Updates

Not sure what inspired this round of tweaks, but I've made a lot of improvements here this week:

  • added a home page (used to just be the post list)
  • moved to 11ty 3.0.0 alpha
  • better, more compliant JSON notes feed
  • much improved notes views, including local timestamps
  • better microformats on the homepage, article pages, and notes pages
  • built media.shaky.sh (S3 + CloudFront) as a place to host images etc
  • built iOS shortcuts to post a note (via Working Copy) or upload a photo to media.shaky.sh.
  • went down a rabbit-hole about using metadata on S3 objects to store alt text, image dimensions, etc.
  • building & deploying to Netlify from GitHub Actions, instead of directly in Netlify CI
  • syndicating the latest note to now.shaky.sh (hosted on omg.lol)
  • started several slashpages (most not yet linked to)
  • click the d6 in the top right corner!
  • many general styling improvements
  • render mention-of webmentions
  • cleaner styling for webmentions
  • switched to catppuccin theme (for both light and dark modes)
  • added a simple umami-backed upvote capability
  • syndicating notes to mastodon (social.lol) and status.lol as well (via scripts heavily based on echo).

There's still a bunch of stuff I'd like to do. And hey, maybe I'll even write a few more posts soon.
