I've clicked on a random link out of all of these personal websites and I find someone from my hometown, the second time something like this has happened here on HN! :D

I write about personal things, fiction writing, and tech over at https://www.wildmind.io . It's been a minute since my last post because new job, new city... Also built in Hugo and deployed to Netlify. I keep going back and forth rebuilding it using Pelican or Nuxt.js; it's hard for me to leave well enough alone.

Sure! :D https://warpedandtorn.io/ - Having my own little space to publish whatever I want is extremely liberating. EDIT: Would love to also set up a blog roll with other HNers. If anyone likes anything on my site link me yours! Would love to chat and share and link to each other's sites!

Begin doggerel:
Those hackers who explore my digi-self
Just might discover words that they enjoy.
With poems, games, translations on my shelf
There's something here for every girl and boy.

> getting views This is the disconnect between the modern commercial web and the real web. Personal sites aren't usually about gettting views, making money, or grabbing attention. Those are profit motives. Personal sites are about putting something out there you care about. It doesn't matter who, if anyone at all, sees it. It doesn't matter if your site only has 90% uptime. Or if it looks weird and only works in some…
For the most part, yes. The personal site lets you experiment in the way you want to. But most people will still need some kind of validation to make it feel like they're not just putting information out into a silent, gaping void. You don't have to stoop to Twitter style hot takes to do this, but some acknowledgement from the outside world is still desirable. Back in the day, there were "guestbooks" you could sign a…
Pingback is old and well known so it gets a lot of spam. But webmention is still new enough it's still useful. Sure, it'll eventually get spammed out to but this is the lifecycle of web-objects. Gotta get use of out them while they're young and not terrible yet.

My blog is always a struggle sorting the esoteric docs of Hugo, but my website is plain vanilla HTML and is always refreshing to work on after a week of webpacked JavaScript: http://www.calebjay.com Topics: frontend, bootcamps, motorcycling, traveling Incidentally, I'm investigating simple ways to display my favorite photography on my site, but I've not figured out yet a good UI or system for that.
For resizing and metadata stripping, try the "sharp" npm package. It's fast, well documented, and based on libvips.
For pulling metadata, try the "exiftool-vendored" npm package (or just use exiftool directly as a CLI).
For presentation, know that srcset is now widely implemented. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimed...
