Articles

I tried using this site's logo as my Twitter icon for a while, but it started to feel like a service account, so I combined a picture of my face with the site's logo to make a new Twitter icon.

I added pagination. I did not want long list pages, so it is about five posts per page. I may change that later. Pagination, tags, categories, and similar features are things that article-style websites tend to need, but I do not think we need to be trapped by the assumption that a site cannot open until all of those are built.

I find it beneficial to have a setup with Next.js + TailwindCSS + Contentful + Cloudflare Pages because it allows for continuous writing and editing. It's also great that the design permits updates, even if it's just a single line.

This site has some entries without titles, so I looked into what kinds of titles are used by sites like Twitter and Facebook, where people make title-less posts.

I received a request to output RSS, so I updated it to do so. When creating the RSS output, there was something I had to think about. It's that some of the posts don't have titles. Since RSS requires a title field, I needed to come up with a clever solution.
