I tried it, it was fine, but after many years of rolling my own sites with [[Jekyll]] and [[Markdown]] it didn't feel like much of a difference. + +I _want_ the type of graph structure that [[LogSeq]] and other advanced systems do, with full block based systems, not just pages of Markdown on disk. + +But! Pages of Markdown on disk does accurately describe what I do when I'm working on this site, especially on desktop. + +We're also using Obsidian at [[Fission]] as of December 2023, for our product planning process. We bought licenses for the whole team and are using git for [[multiplayer]]. +## IndieKit + +I've gone back and forth on using [[IndieKit]]. The main thing it brings is a [[Micropub]] interface for mobile posting to this site. And with LogSeq not really working for me for that, and Noosphere not being quite ready, maybe I bring back journals here. + +I've been using and paying for [[Micro.blog]] for this for my [personal blog](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com), and I've been enjoying the cross posting -- posts get sent to Bluesky and Mastodon (and Nostr and Tumbler and LinkedIn). + +![](/assets/microblog-cross-posting-screenshot.png) +## Cloudron +I'm going to make a [[Cloudron]] page here, because I've been learning and experimenting and raving about it for 3 months or so. + +I had tried it some time ago and recently re-committed to it in a big way. I've got a personal install I call the [[Commons Computer]], installed it for [[CoSocial]], installed it for [[Fission]], and have an [[IPFS]] community one that isn't quite active yet. + +## LogSeq (and Noosphere and Linkding and...) +What about my [notes site](https://notes.bmannconsulting.com) powered by [[LogSeq]]? Do I ... migrate all the notes back here? it's probably a good idea to have a separate notes site which is more ephemeral than this. But maybe everything is ephemeral??? + +The other other thing I meant to do over the holidays was install the commandline [[Noosphere]] tooling. I'm in the beta, so have the [[Subconscious]] iOS app, and being able to perhaps use Noosphere for syncing between desktop and mobile would be good, without doing the [[Working Copy]] git client on my phone. + +And finally, I have a [shared bookmarking service Linkding installed on Commons Computer](https://commonscomputer.com/t/linkding-installed/25). You can browse [shared bookmarks here](https://links.commonscomputer.com/bookmarks/shared). + +Do I need another place to stash bookmarks? Part of the thinking of IndieKit and Journals on this site, is that notes-as-bookmarks / journals-with-links are a good place for them, and yet another service is just another spot for them to never get looked at again. +## Eleventy +One of the other solutions for how long it takes to build this site, and perhaps for more advanced "stuff", is perhaps to move it to [[Eleventy]]. But that's going to take a lot more coding and learning time, although I did [capture some Eleventy bookmarks](https://links.commonscomputer.com/bookmarks/shared?q=%23eleventy). + +## Addendum Jan 3rd, 2024 + +OK, I went back and forth from this being a "blog" vs a [journal](/journal/). + +Now that I've got the Obsidian "unique note creator" creating datestamped journal entries that are more "block" sized, this giant post makes more sense as a "blog". And maybe, since I do have a [Obsidian on mobile via git](https://bmannconsulting.com/journal/2024-01-02/), there really isn't much pressure to move on IndieKit. + +And the one new person who subscribed to my feed will get it via RSS! + +I'll add a feed for journals...but may use that just to import / cross-post via Micro.blog, and invite people to follow my Mastodon account (which also has an RSS feed!). + +I likely won't add a feed for notes, as they get "edited in place". I have the five most recently updated on the home page, just as a way to surface things for those who truly come in through the home page. And, new notes will often get created / noted via journal posts, so people will get links to them that way. + +Perhaps weekly blog post summaries. We'll see! + +I'm itchy at how many wikilinks point over to the LogSeq notes site, but re-importing those back over here -- again! -- is a big project. +
