I prompted ChatGPT to get me started. I wanted to know the basic structure of HTML. It had been a while since I coded in plain HTML, and the entire goal of this site is to be quick and easy.
It gave me a simple scaffold — <!DOCTYPE html>, <html>, <head>, and <body>. I remembered that much, so it wasn't a huge help.
The simplicity is the point. I don’t want to maintain a CMS. I don’t want to wait for anything to compile. I want to write, paste in a link or an embed, and move on. Static HTML means I can open a file, make a change, and refresh the browser.
The site itself is on Netifly, specifically because of the low cost, and I don't anticipate any REAL traffic to it.
After years now of writing in Obsidian, Drafts, and other Markdown compatible editors, my brain kinda thinks in that way. So I've also created a markdown to HTML python script. There are many online but another small project was creating the script. With the script, I can continue to write in Obsidian, and upload the converted file to Github via VSCODE without having to deal with any backend.
