Hmm...
Well nothing too much really...
But I made my website work offline :D
lol experimenting with PWAs and
serviceWorkerafter two years I finally posted a new post on here! :D
I have the motivation of a large rock so most things are a win for me.
A few weeks ago, I created a small website (goodi.sh) that lists domain-hack type URLs ending with
.sh. It scrapes WHOIS several times a day and the page is re-built automatically from the scraper output. All done with Github actions – which I'd never used before.I was a little disheartened by the site's lack of traffic though and so I started reading about SEO. I'm familiar with many of the practises but SEO always seemed a bit skeevy to me. However, with few visitors, I finally accepted that if I wanted to make a successful website, I needed to learn SEO and marketing in general.
So, this week, I set up a blog – ostensibly as a sandbox for experimenting with SEO. I haven't learned so much about SEO yet – and I'm still to write a decent post – but I did enjoy honing my design skills and learning about CSS grid and flexbox. It also gave me the chance to become more familiar with Jekyll and I wrote some Liquid template plugins to handle things like fetching post thumbnails. It's not perfect but I found enjoyment working on it. (And it's been a while since I've found proper enjoyment doing computer stuff.)
The blog is jllyfsh.com
I was in the same boat up until like 6 months ago! I was working as a consultant on a project but for the most part was doing basically nothing. I started working on a few things and 2 months ago committed to building a social media platform, have been working on it ever since.
Really feels like I'm starting to enjoy playing with computers/websites again! Good luck to you on keeping the momentum going, its easy to do when you remember coding is actually really fun!
I started implementing an algebraic effect system in my language, and that project also earned its 250th github star today 😄

This looks insanely good. I fear I might have discovered a new time-sink.
Thanks you :) very much.
