Ideas for my blog

Posted on 2024-02-27

[Capjamesg] wrote a fun article about [« 100 things you can do on your personal website »]. This and [Shellsharks]'s [website component checklist] inspired this post. I also read responses like [this post] or [that one] for other ideas.

I'm thinking of doing a review of this list about every 3 or 6 months, we'll see. But will be a good thing to see how this blog evolve in the near future and see if I'm going to keep up writing and updating this blog so much :).

I also transformed that post into a [static /ideas page] following the inspiration of [Snarfed] [ideas page].

About and Contact Links

⭕ Will do at some point maybe

⭕ indieweb.txt
⭕ License
⭕ Additional Content Type: Notes (+ RSS feed)
⭕ BlogRoll / Webring
⭕ Improve Accessiblity
⭕ Check all broken links / images (from old blog version that may have been poorly imported)
⭕ Display selected blog posts and gemini article on homepage instead of latest 5
⭕ Create a dedicated IndieWeb static page to indicate [IndieMark] status
⭕ A content statistic page (number of post in average per month/year, per type, etc…), not "user analytics"

IndieMark

❓ Maybe someday, but unlikely

❓ Share a list of your favourite books
❓ Add an easter egg
❓ Search: Would require either Javascript or an 3rd party to selfhost, too complex for this blog, but may change?

❌ Won't implement (but never say never)

❌ Change Log: The [git repository] does this well already
❌ Donation page: Thank you, but right now I don't need donation. I write about what I want when I want, and want to stay free of being pressured to write.
❌ Comments / Guestbook / (any UGC): I own this website, and only what I wrote will be displayed. I'll happily read your messages / responses over email, webmentions, IRC or the Fediverse though :).
❌ Now page: Too "high maintenance" type of page for me
❌ Site Statistics: No tracking, no Javascript, no Cookie, ever.
