https://www.greghilston.com/ I'm pretty torn on having a separation between the notion of "posts" and "projects". I don't keep the project section up to date very often, and probably should remove it. Any thoughts/advice on this HN?

Briefly looking through your posts, I'm not 100% sure what differentiates the project posts from the others. I like the idea of the project page being visually distinct from the lists of posts. One way to sort out the project page is to provide a short blurb describing each post.

Yeah, that's exactly what I think the problem is. I arbitrary consider a one thing a project and another thing a post.

Understood, thanks for your advice!

I’m a product designer who’s been blogging since around 2009. For several years I managed an online publication, Signal Tower. Then left it to become the host of the Designer News podcast. Some posts y’all might find interesting:

My personal blog as well as a place to showcase the iOS & macOS apps I’m working on.

It’s statically generated with Hugo and, for the first time, I actually created the theme myself (based on the lightweight CSS framework Bulma). Being essentially just a bunch of SASS files, Bulma allowed me to easily cherry-pick only what I needed, extend and tweak as required and easily integrate it into the Hugo build pipeline.

Designing and developing the theme was a really cool experience because my background is mostly in C, C++ Objective C and Swift and this was the most serious “web project” I have done to date. I still prefer writing native apps but have definitely enjoyed this excursion into the world of SCSS, HTML and JS :)

Now if only I got around to actually blogging more regularly :D
