Thanks for writing this up. It provides another great reference for my own link blog at linkedlist.org I too was heavily influenced by @gruber.foo's writing on Daring Fireball. I'm still finding my feet with the project, but it is fun working it out.
Such a thoughtful process. Thanks for that. I use Bsky as a bookmarking tool (like @strangelove.ai) with a monthly link dump at blog.strangelove.ai/news/ using Google Sheets and a Hugo blog on Cloudflare via GitHub, but don’t take it much further than that. But, maybe I should.
I've a daily cron (GitHub Action) that scrapes said text stream and "archives" the posts to my Hugo Static Blog. tnvmadhav.me/feed/ (Archive compilation) I'm new to this and I'm enjoying it. Thanks to @simonwillison.net for the push :)
My little app readily.news is something of an article link email newsletter aggregated from your mastodon feed. Or newstr.social if you prefer Nostr. Working on BlueSky version
Thanks for sharing, I couldn't agree more. Bringing back the old personal blogs instead of everyone's same Substack. I believe the future of blogging is connected, linked; it's easier to learn and write, as nothing happens in a silo. It's also more sustainable in the long term. #secondbrain
