  - ftio 7y ago
    Thank you! :) I did it myself.
- AndrewStephens 7y ago
  I like your site, especially your recent advice about making static websites. One question: I really like your Wave widget at the bottom of each page. How does the Wave mechanism work on the backend? It doesn't appear to send anything apart from setting a local cookie.
  - ftio 7y ago
    Thank you! TL;DR Since I use Heap Analytics for basic user analytics stuff, I just use Heap's built-in click tracking mechanism to track "waves". Some ad blockers will block the analytics data from being sent — others let it through. It's been a while since I built that feature — I should probably update it to hide the widget altogether if you've got an ad blocker on. As I wrote above, I use Netlify for hosting it, and I'd really prefer to use their analytics solution (more privacy centric), but it's a little too costly to justify for a personal site.

Lordy - I've built so many over the years! Almost all I've learned about coding (since 1990s) has been through playing with personal sites. I'm currently rewriting my poetry site[1][2] from scratch with new tech, and will be documenting the process on my (resurrected) learning blog[3]. I also built some sites to 'advertise' my Javascript library[4] - but given that nobody in the world uses the library (or if they do, they're not telling me about it) I consider this, too, to be a personal site. My other big project - building a whole constructed world with maps, languages, histories, etc[5][6][7] - is so 'out there' that I consider it to be "uber-personal" ... and yet this is the site which has led to many of my most important learning experiences (from building databases to designing alien fonts). It's also the site that got me into coding in the first place: if it hadn't been my massive desire to showcase my mad world to the dozen other people in the real world who might be interested in it, I would never have thought about becoming a professional web coder!

- coldpie 7y ago
  I use WordPress, which obviously has support for comments, and I've actually been thinking of turning them off. I get tens of thousands of spam comments every month (Akismet nukes 99.9999% of them) and the real comments I do get don't add a whole lot. I'm not sure they're worth the trouble. Perhaps just prominently feature your email address?
  - TadasPaplauskas 7y ago
    > Perhaps just prominently feature your email address? That's exactly what I'm doing right now :). Email address is not exactly as encouraging to reach out as a simple comment box, but I've had a hunch that the small possible upside is just not worth the hassle, and your experience seems to confirm that. Thanks!
    - KKPMW 7y ago
      +1 from me for only using an email address. I was using commento: https://commento.io/ https://commento.io/ which is quite small and can be imported via one line of java script. However having comments encourages people to leave low-effort responses like "good article, thanks". Email-only provides a kind of filter for low-effort replies.

I recently started with a personal website [1]. I wanted to dive into static site generators and used Zola[2] in the end. At this time I only published a few blog articles, but at least I started somewhere. As my personal knowledge base I love to use Joplin[3]. I wanted to write my blog post with Joplin, too! I wrote a small script to generate the blog articles from Joplin notes and wrote about this in my first blog post [4]. I also plan to have some kind of linkage site. The biggest problem is to revised my large bookmark collection and pick out the best ones. I probably should just begin with new cool stuff I stumble upon. Secondly, I would like to have some kind of feedback system (comments, activitypub, ...) but without any (or at least too much) server side code and without using some external provider. Btw, the site is also available fully decentralized via dat. Yeahh.

  Btw, you might be interested to know that if you activate the Web Clipper service, you can interact with Joplin's REST API on port 41184. I have been using a hairy mess of shell scripts to achieve similar functionality (Joplin-as-CMS). I'll have to clean it up and put it on GitHub this weekend!

Also, I started it when I had a less-than-fulfilling job and now that I have much more interesting work it’s tough to build the energy for side/personal projects worth writing about. And I kind of want to rebuild it from scratch (of course). It’s a statically generated site with Pelican and while building it I have often found myself just wanting to be able to make better use of straight HTML over RST/Markdown.

- sundarurfriend 7y ago
  I enjoyed your post about the LDA (the Dirichlet one; yet to read the Discriminant one). It strikes the right balance between explaining the conceptual aspects of what's going on, and including concrete examples of the data set used and the graphs of the results. Too many articles in this area are either too much into theory crafting with not much practical stuff to prove it, or sometimes go the other way to "here's a code dump, gather whatever you can with it, good luck!". (One suggestion: sometimes the context of the post isn't actually as obvious as it seems to us. For eg., the post about the Stan Vim plugin makes no mention of what Stan is, and it's a slightly annoying name to DDG properly. A link to the Stan language's site would've saved me - the reader - a minute and some annoyance.)

- mceachen 7y ago
  For photos on your website, are you talking about resizing, presentation, or stripping metadata? For resizing and metadata stripping, try the "sharp" npm package. It's fast, well documented, and based on libvips. For pulling metadata, try the "exiftool-vendored" npm package (or just use exiftool directly as a CLI). For presentation, know that srcset is now widely implemented. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Responsive_images https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimed...

AndrewStephens 7y ago
I like your site, especially your recent advice about making static websites. One question: I really like your Wave widget at the bottom of each page. How does the Wave mechanism work on the backend? It doesn't appear to send anything apart from setting a local cookie.
- ftio 7y ago
  Thank you! TL;DR Since I use Heap Analytics for basic user analytics stuff, I just use Heap's built-in click tracking mechanism to track "waves". Some ad blockers will block the analytics data from being sent — others let it through. It's been a while since I built that feature — I should probably update it to hide the widget altogether if you've got an ad blocker on. As I wrote above, I use Netlify for hosting it, and I'd really prefer to use their analytics solution (more privacy centric), but it's a little too costly to justify for a personal site.

rikroots 7y ago

Lordy - I've built so many over the years! Almost all I've learned about coding (since 1990s) has been through playing with personal sites. I'm currently rewriting my poetry site[1][2] from scratch with new tech, and will be documenting the process on my (resurrected) learning blog[3]. I also built some sites to 'advertise' my Javascript library[4] - but given that nobody in the world uses the library (or if they do, they're not telling me about it) I consider this, too, to be a personal site. My other big project - building a whole constructed world with maps, languages, histories, etc[5][6][7] - is so 'out there' that I consider it to be "uber-personal" ... and yet this is the site which has led to many of my most important learning experiences (from building databases to designing alien fonts). It's also the site that got me into coding in the first place: if it hadn't been my massive desire to showcase my mad world to the dozen other people in the real world who might be interested in it, I would never have thought about becoming a professional web coder!

coldpie 7y ago
I use WordPress, which obviously has support for comments, and I've actually been thinking of turning them off. I get tens of thousands of spam comments every month (Akismet nukes 99.9999% of them) and the real comments I do get don't add a whole lot. I'm not sure they're worth the trouble. Perhaps just prominently feature your email address?
- TadasPaplauskas 7y ago
  > Perhaps just prominently feature your email address? That's exactly what I'm doing right now :). Email address is not exactly as encouraging to reach out as a simple comment box, but I've had a hunch that the small possible upside is just not worth the hassle, and your experience seems to confirm that. Thanks!
  - KKPMW 7y ago
    +1 from me for only using an email address. I was using commento: https://commento.io/ https://commento.io/ which is quite small and can be imported via one line of java script. However having comments encourages people to leave low-effort responses like "good article, thanks". Email-only provides a kind of filter for low-effort replies.

I recently started with a personal website [1]. I wanted to dive into static site generators and used Zola[2] in the end. At this time I only published a few blog articles, but at least I started somewhere. As my personal knowledge base I love to use Joplin[3]. I wanted to write my blog post with Joplin, too! I wrote a small script to generate the blog articles from Joplin notes and wrote about this in my first blog post [4]. I also plan to have some kind of linkage site. The biggest problem is to revised my large bookmark collection and pick out the best ones. I probably should just begin with new cool stuff I stumble upon. Secondly, I would like to have some kind of feedback system (comments, activitypub, ...) but without any (or at least too much) server side code and without using some external provider. Btw, the site is also available fully decentralized via dat. Yeahh.

Btw, you might be interested to know that if you activate the Web Clipper service, you can interact with Joplin's REST API on port 41184. I have been using a hairy mess of shell scripts to achieve similar functionality (Joplin-as-CMS). I'll have to clean it up and put it on GitHub this weekend!

https://chrxs.net https://chrxs.net I mostly started it while learning Python and job hunting and sadly have not got back to keeping it up. For me, it takes a lot of time and effort to come up with a worthwhile topic and good narrative. Also, I started it when I had a less-than-fulfilling job and now that I have much more interesting work it’s tough to build the energy for side/personal projects worth writing about. And I kind of want to rebuild it from scratch (of course). It’s a statically generated site with Pelican and while building it I have often found myself just wanting to be able to make better use of straight HTML over RST/Markdown.

sundarurfriend 7y ago
I enjoyed your post about the LDA (the Dirichlet one; yet to read the Discriminant one). It strikes the right balance between explaining the conceptual aspects of what's going on, and including concrete examples of the data set used and the graphs of the results. Too many articles in this area are either too much into theory crafting with not much practical stuff to prove it, or sometimes go the other way to "here's a code dump, gather whatever you can with it, good luck!". (One suggestion: sometimes the context of the post isn't actually as obvious as it seems to us. For eg., the post about the Stan Vim plugin makes no mention of what Stan is, and it's a slightly annoying name to DDG properly. A link to the Stan language's site would've saved me - the reader - a minute and some annoyance.)

inerg 7y ago

Just getting into having a personal site. Wanted to try out a static site generator so I've been slowly poking at getting something going with Hugo. Hopefully over the next month or so I'll develop my own theme. Over time I think I'll end up with an interesting mix of things on here. https://www.timmermans.dev/ https://www.timmermans.dev/

patrickk 7y ago

https://patrickkeane.me https://patrickkeane.me It's built with Wordpress and a standard theme, nothing fancy. I have to update more often. I post about random projects and interests of mine, and linking to interesting Github projects. I'm currently building a Proliant Gen8 NAS with OpenMediaVault, and going down the home automation rabbit hole (see /r/homeassistant / Lovelace software) so I might post that on there. I also flashed a Vu+ set top box with OpenVix[1] and hooked it up to a huge satellite dish, another project that I should share details of. I have a habit of gathering bookmarks in OneNote for future projects which I really should share. [1] http://www.openvix.co.uk/ http://www.openvix.co.uk/

My blog is always a struggle sorting the esoteric docs of Hugo, but my website is plain vanilla HTML and is always refreshing to work on after a week of webpacked JavaScript: http://www.calebjay.com http://www.calebjay.com Topics: frontend, bootcamps, motorcycling, traveling Incidentally, I'm investigating simple ways to display my favorite photography on my site, but I've not figured out yet a good UI or system for that.

mceachen 7y ago
For photos on your website, are you talking about resizing, presentation, or stripping metadata? For resizing and metadata stripping, try the "sharp" npm package. It's fast, well documented, and based on libvips. For pulling metadata, try the "exiftool-vendored" npm package (or just use exiftool directly as a CLI). For presentation, know that srcset is now widely implemented. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Responsive_images https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimed...
- komali2 7y ago
  Thanks for the tips. I meant presenting. Like, should I do a fatty grid? Organize by trip? Etc. As for srcset I use it on my blog but something about Hugo causes my images to rotate.... Sometimes. Lol.

I hope you keep the pure-CSS version around somewhere, because that is technically amazing. I thought I'd accidentally disabled umatrix when I first saw it.
- simonsarris 7y ago
  oh that's a good idea. I'll do that. I was really bummed going from a site where anyone could easily see how it was made and read the source code via view source, to Gatsby/React where its unintelligible. But to have animations persist across "pages" it was necessary to switch. This is what index.html and layout.css used to look like: https://github.com/simonsarris/site-simonsarris/blob/faf3eb75ae3e8ae623f05f20c20bc602df664e78/public/index.html https://github.com/simonsarris/site-simonsarris/blob/faf3eb7... https://github.com/simonsarris/site-simonsarris/blob/faf3eb75ae3e8ae623f05f20c20bc602df664e78/public/layout.css https://github.com/simonsarris/site-simonsarris/blob/faf3eb7...

  I think they turned off the free sites/hosting a year or two ago, but the opensource project is still around and doing well. It's not hard to spin up an instance with the opensource software and I think there are still a few hosts like Reclaim Hosting that offer one button installs of it.
