Before this post , everything ran locally, but now im proud to introduce the new and imporved meder-cool-guy.com - everything host and database related things are now done (runnign on aws micro instansete with an AWS RDS and an S3 bucket). tbh idk why it took so logn to get to this point - but wahts next? 1. clean up the website a bit more. so remove all the non-my postst. remove the fake proejcts and put my real projects in there. maybe i could hook up my vault agent to peridoctaly add the proejcts ? but now that i think about it , thats doing too much and its not like i create a new project every day. 2. new features - add a post button so i dont have to manually write /admin new section - thinking of adding a certificate section maybe instead of the exporlorer thing on the left i could do like a my certifications sectino? small update (but not easy) - do real time updates fro the currently section - like connecting ot my spotify. and maybe i could hook up wakatime to the website? sounds like a good idea - im simply a genuis. 3. security - right now its all 60% secure i would say. i do have a hard coded password taht sets a cookie in the browser so i dont have to keep siging back it . BUT that plus the whole stack security doesnt seem enogh for me. Unfortuanlty allat gotta wait - have to finish my project stuff first.

kettle v1.0 shipped. 47 stars overnight which is wild for a markdown cms that fits in a gist. main thing i learned is people will install almost anything if the readme is funny. signing off.

standalone thought, not project-related: i think the best personal sites feel like you walked into someone's room. theres stuff on the walls. its not for you. you can leave whenever. but while youre there you learn something about the person. thats the bar.

spent 4 hours trying to get a sidebar to not jump 2px on hover. claude kept generating perfectly correct code that did not fix it. eventually i noticed the parent had a 1px border that disappeared on focus. on mai dead.
.sidebar:focus-within { border: 1px solid transparent; }
/* ^^ the bug. invisible until you stare at it. */

ok so the whole point of this site: write the post WHILE im building, not after. capture the thinking, not the diff. inspired by the opening of the social network where mark blogs on livejournal while building facemash at the same time. that energy.

figured out the stack, pages, and overall vibe of the website. the next thing woudl be deciding whetehr i want to go more y2k or more modern like twitter. maybe a mix of both? but a mix of both in what areas? thinking of using claude deisgn but its prone to be bugginnng OMD (on mai dead).
