It wasn't worth it

I wasn’t motivated to keep building it. It’s so easy to make sites now. I can make my own CMS on demand, like the one I’m writing this in. And seed.

Write first, structure later

The main idea was simple: write first, structure later. Most personal sites die in the planning stage.

Shutting down seed.town

I’m shutting down seed.town. It was meant to be an easy way to build content sites. Write one page and publish it, add more whenever you want.

Deploy with one click

Actions are shell scripts in a folder, and each one is a button. I have two: git-push, and deploy, which builds this site and pushes it to Cloudflare.

Handing off to AI

Sessions are groups of tabs. When I ask an agent to do something over MCP, it makes a session and opens every page it touched as a tab.

Folders are files

A post with images is a folder: an index.md with its images next to it. In the file bar, that folder just shows up as the post, with its images under it.

Just a file editor

It’s just a file editor with files on the right, tabs on top, and the page in the middle.

Another personal CMS

I rebuilt my personal CMS again. This time, it’s running on my VPS, has MCP, built-in commands (git push, deploy to CF).

Better microblog preview images

The images in my "microblog preview" sidebar widget are way too big: I thought it would look good if I put them inline:

Astro has been great

So far, everything’s been great with Astro. Great break from React. In fact, I’ve realized that only 20% of web dev I’ve done in my life ACTUALLY needs React.

Restaurant blog

I want to start a mini restaurant blog on my site. I eat out a lotta nice places but when someone asks me for recommendations, I can’t remember any.

CMS image compression

I was trying to make a micropost for Hyperlocal, and my own CMS blocked me from doing so because the image was too big!

Thread helpers

My CMS is pretty good! It’s nice that I can make "one-off" edits for things that are useful to me. For example, in my micro blog, I have threads.

Simple media editor

I got a simple media editor for my CMS working! You can upload images, then click them to copy the markdown image syntax like .

Basic auth might not be the best idea

On iOS Safari, I cannot have my login details remembered, so I’ll have to enter my password every time.

Basic auth for a personal CMS

Basic auth works great! Only thing, I wonder if I can save my auth state and not have to enter my username and password every time.

CMS media editor

Having a text-only CMS is easy, but I really need the ability to upload and manage images.

Auth just for me

Turns out, it was not difficult to make a CMS for my blog. I got a super simple file editor. Now the next step is to make sure that only I can access the CMS.

A CMS for my website

Editing my own website has always been a pain. I’d have to open my laptop, open my editor, remember how I structured my blog, write markdown, preview it…

Thank you, Next

I’m switching my personal site from Nextjs to Astro. I’m taking a break from React, ShadCN, and Nextjs.
