Hello World

After many futile attempts to start blogging, I decided to start small with link posts and a more freeform feed.

I became a fan of Simon Willison's blog and was inspired by his post on how to run a link blog

Of course, before I could get started, I had to ask myself how I was going to manage this feed a.k.a procrastinating on the hard task of actually writing.

Since I already knew a bit about Caddy's templating system, I was aware of the possibilities of building the feed without using Hugo, Gatsby, Python, etc. So with a bit of help from Aider (not as much as I would have liked, it got most of the functions wrong), I finally have my own link feed.

My first series of posts will focus on how the techniques I used to set it up in case you want to do it yourself.
