The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@ebrunborg In fairness, making these devices work "while wired" is a very tough problem to solve. I doubt that we will ever see a real soluti...

@hjortureh @Netlify @contentful Depending on your build, this is pretty rapid. Not quite what you'd want if you need an *instant* preview for content authors. Mine are usually 10-30s from content save to being served on the global, managed CDN.

For previews as you work, also perhaps consider @NetlifyCMS

@hjortureh @Netlify @contentful That blog posts includes a link to the code on github. It could be prettier, but should demonstrate an approach to populating a site with content from @contentful.

@hjortureh @Netlify @contentful Yep. I do exactly that.

This site uses a bespoke SSG which I made myself, but the principle is exactly as you described. A gulp build gets the data from Contentful. Then an SSG builds it. Triggered by webhooks.

I notice that the house mostly has either hardwood or tiled floors. I also notice that you have a new rug in this room. I therefore wish to inform you that this is where I have elected to "do a sick" during ht night.

Yours, with no apparent remorse or emotions,
