All content follows this pattern (tags optional but prefixed with _
to differentiate them in iA Writer from my blog’s posts). No exceptions.
#\_article #\_twitter #\_rss
# [Five years of quitting Twitter](https://nolanlawson.com/2022/02/02/five-years-of-quitting-twitter/)
I liked this:
> [for many] I only exist when someone takes pity on me and links to my blog from Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News, or a big site like CSS Tricks...
>
> For those people who are re-sharing my content on social media, I suspect most of them found it from their RSS feed. So RSS definitely still seems alive and well, even if it’s just a small upstream tributary for the roaring downstream river of Twitter, Reddit, etc
Markdown file gets parsed into a JSON feed item:
[
{
// Filename (minus extension)
id: "2022-01-08T0905",
// <h1> stripped from markup and extracted into `title` and `external_url`
// Body goes here
content_html: "<p>I liked this..."
date_published: "2022-01-08T09:05-06:00"
title: "Five years of quitting twiter"
url: "https://notes.jim-nielsen.com/#2022-01-08T0905",
external_url: "https://example.com/..."
tags: ["article", "twitter", "rss"]
}
]
Files follow this format: YYYY-MM-DDTHHMM.md
- New files:
2023-08-01T1036.md
2023-08-05T1222.md
- Ported reading notes will be:
2022-01-12T1230.md
2022-01-12T1229.md
2022-01-12T1228.md
All content is loaded into one giant HTML file.
Why one big file? Because I want to be able to search/filter all notes at once and one page makes that easy. Plus, content should always be written/formatted as text (no embedded images, videos, etc., those must all be linked).
Individual posts are anchor linked in the main file:
notes.jim-nielsen.com/#2022-05-01T1200
Perhaps one day they can have their own URLs
notes.jim-nielsen.com/2022-05-01T1200
Will require:
- Port all exisiting reading notes into new repository as
.md
files - Script that gets all files, parses them into
db.json
file, and turns them into static files (and feed files) - Add a thing to all reading notes posts that indicate they are now reposted on
notes.jim-nielsen.com
— or do a redirect? from old blog reading notes posts to newnotes.jim-nielsen.com
- this might be a little weird...
