I know it's off-topic but I appreciate so much when somebody hosts their own blog rather than using Medium or some nag-ware hosting service.
I didn't get any pop-up "pardon[ing] the interruption" or asking me to join a mailing list, or anything! To think this used to be the normal way of doing things on the web.
