Capsule Changes

Goodbye, singular tags

The tags pages, despite being so sparse, are too cluttered, so I’ve removed any tag listings where there is only one tag. This means a much shorter all tags page, though that makes it something of a misnomer. I’m also hiding any tags on a note where that note is the only one with that tag.

From the perspective of my notes, that tag is useful for searching, but from the perspective of the capsule, there’s no other page to navigate to from that link, so it doesn’t serve a purpose.

The tags are made of a keyword that exists in the note text, so searching the site for that tag (not supported within my capsule, but from a search engine, for example,) will still come up with a match for that tag in the note.

Hello, all notes

One could argue that the tags page is the only place to get to tags that aren’t linked from pages off the index, but my plan for that is to make a page of all notes sorted chronologically (by creation, not last updated.) I’ve experimented with this, I just haven’t added it to the site generation process, so it isn’t live yet. Briefly, this was done rather clumsily by a bash script, and there were weird quotes in the very poor YAML handling that extracted note titles. Now it’s handled by the same Python script that does most of the heavy lifting on the rest of the capsule generation. The same script that decides what content should be moved to public view, generates the tag pages, stamps all the pages with navigation footers, generates the atom feed, now also generates a page of all the notes that are publicly visible.

Atom feed was too confusing

I wanted it to report on when I updated already authored content, but that turned out to be confusing when presented as a subscription because stuff appeared to be all out of order. Minor edits and fixes were obscuring larger recent documents, so I’ve resorted to just a lexicographical sort of the file names, or more simply, feed content is based on file creation date.

Feel free to contact me

I’ve finally added a contact page. Not much more to say about it. Unless Agate does something with the Gemini mentions RFC, I have no plans to implement that on my own. It looks like a big headache.
