@db Yeah, I suppose I might be a tad optimistic here. I’m fairly certain Cloudflare will continue to invest in it, as having a full CMS offering would give them the full stack of domain, hosting, and content management. How much better it will get with further work is debatable, however.

I’d just really like to see something simple and extensible that folks over the age of 80 can manage reasonably. EmDash is the closest I’ve seen. Ghost is runner-up, but is much more demanding to host and is too rigid to cater for for every need.

Playing around with training a small language model on my own writing and work again.

I love this output: https://www.com/wiki/posts

It is trained on links and the presence of URL parts like ‘https’, ‘www’, ‘com’, and ‘wiki’ (from Wikipedia) in association but doesn’t quite put them together correctly.

The above effect is especially exacerbated by strong contrast, like pure white on pure black. However, different conditions benefit from different levels of contrast. For example, people with conditions such as cataracts, aniridia, and achromatopsia can benefit from low-contrast visuals. The prefers-contrast CSS media feature is fantastic for tailoring to your user’s needs.

I love dark mode, but it mustn’t be the only option. For a lot of people, white text upon a dark background is illegible.

Common eye conditions like astigmatism, myopia, and presbyopia can make content look foggy, become hard to focus on, and cause eye strain.

@fossheim I’ve been using Hetzner for a few years. Completely and entirely uneventful, which is arguably the best one could hope for. I have a referrer link that I think gives both you and I a benefit: https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=34Y7cl2jIkuM

Main thing to be wary of with Hetzner is that they’re pretty strict against NSFW content.

A lot of developers mistakenly think that the code is the product. In reality, for most businesses the product is the product, and the code is merely means to an end.

I think this explains why so many developers’ efforts are so horribly misguided by modern technologies. They’re building the code, not the product.
