Zine

I converted my blog from hugo to zine. Hugo has been pretty good, but it had a couple of small annoyances like simple inclusion of raw HTML being difficult. Mostly though, I wanted to try something new, and my personal site is a safe space for me to do that :)

Zine is very new, in fact the disclaimer on the site "Zine is alpha software. Using Zine today means participating in its development." turned out to be true, and I had to submit a couple of changes to Zine to make it work for me. Thankfully the maintainer was really helpful, and they also pointed out how I could generate an RSS XML feed for my blog just like hugo did.

Code for my website can be found here. Since I have a quite a few posts, I wrote a little program to convert the frontmatter for all my pages from hugo's YAML format to zine's ziggy format; although the output still needed some manual tweaks afterwards.

Tangentially related, I moved the couple of videos I was hosting directly from my site to move IT Tube to save bandwidth at home and so others can view them faster.
