Nostr Web Client

I can only give the thanks back to you and I hope you figure out a way to fight through these difficult times 🤗. Your project is very important in these times of growing centralization and infantilisation! It reminds me of one of my dreams to create local self-hosting & linux courses / coaching groups 🙂.

How where your past couple days ☺️? Is the new website already online 🤓?

😊

I lost my productive streak after a while, so no website launch yet (working on integrating MkDocs-Material and Wordpress into something that looks coherent), but it feels really good to be working on it again.

there was a lot of activity where I'm staying, so after I could no longer focus, I took a couple days to do errands, bake bread, and make food for the freezer. I learned a while back that I can do such things when my mind is full of static, so I don't completely lose the time I'd have spent on development. and anyway I love to cook, so frequently it keeps me in a good mood.

I've had some optimistic moments lately, and the cool people I'm meeting here and in the ActivityPub world are a big part of that! ❤️

Awww ☺️, I hope you find your productive streak soon again 😁! The decentralized community movements like Nostr are motivating me as well 🙂❤️.

I am curious about your thoughts behind Wordpress + MkDocs: do you try to solve it in Wordpress so that everything is under one hood, or whats the reasoning? Wouldn't it be simpler to use something like https://www.bookstackapp.com/ ? 🤔

I hadn't heard of Bookstack, cool tip, thank you!

my reasoning for using Wordpress (MkDocs came later, originally I was gonna use a Wordpress plugin for the wiki, blech) is simply that I'm familiar with it, and my mental bandwidth for learning new frameworks is very limited and will stay that way until I have my own space.

when I left off building the website in July 2024, I had just started styling MkDocs-Material to match the style of the Wordpress portion of the site. I'm not sure exactly how the integration will go yet, I found with such limited availability of mental coherence, sometimes I have to just start building and see what happens 😆

oh, one reason for using MkDocs - all my existing personal documentation is in Markdown format.

anyway, not much progress on the site for a few days, but I solved a longstanding problem with my reverse proxy setup by switching to Wireguard!
