Specific Main App Pursuit I'm Currently Working On
This is the beginning
Garden Improvements
Meta
#digitalgarden
Things to do:
(Done 12/13/2025) Set my own favicon instead of the default
add a commenting system
(Done, 12/8/2025) Or at least an (optionally-anonymous) feedback/contact form in the mean time
make it so the date published and date last updated appears on pages
make a list of my hobbies/interests (and then eventually link pages/folders from them)
be able to see page view count (analytics) (possibly some good guidance
here
) (Done, 1/21/2026, and followed some of the privacy suggestions from the link, specifically the four privacy settings it described about disabling ad-based tracking, though I didn't implement the consent dialogue it described.)
(Done, 12/8/2025) Fix /feed.xml so it can generate RSS feed. There's an issue with the html snippet on the homepage for the 'random note' button
Post this site to Kagi Small Web (oh, this requires the blog to be 3 years old. Maybe find a different aggregate to post to? Or join a web ring)
Make a visualization to see frequency of posts over time
May want to eventually setup Obsidian to host images/other_assets on S3 instead of on Github. The Digital Garden plugin mentioned that the site may slow down if the assets pile up since you can't store that much on Github. I found this Obsidian
plugin
which might be the solution for an auto-S3 upload of images. ChatGPT is also suggesting Cloudfront R2 may be a better image hosting option to reduce retrieval costs (but still minimal storage costs) but also have a backup to S3 for peace of mind. Makes plugin setup a bit more complicated though.
