Love it! Also, I think it'd be more impressive to be consistent with your units when comparing page sizes e.g:
4mb
1mb
4mb
3mb

Huh... I've always described 2^10 bytes as a "kilobyte" (kB) but I've always hated the ambiguity, even if the difference between 2^10 and 10^3 is usually not important. Thanks to this comment, I learned there is an formal set of units which are distinct from their SI counterparts[0]. 1000^1 kB, 1024^1 kibibyte (kiB) 1000^2 MB, 1024^2 mebibyte (MiB) 1000^3 GB, 1024^3 gibibyte (GiB) 1000^4 TB, 1024^4 tebibyte (TiB) 100…
Now that you're aware of them you're going to start seeing them everywhere. There's more adoption than you realize.
I've been aware of these for around 20 years, I've not seen that nomenclature growing in popularity.
It doesn't help that it just sounds silly to my ears.

It’s a fairly well known koamoji. Kaomoji is the horizontal counterpart to smileys and they can get very creative. If you set your iPhone to Japanese keyboard it comes with hundreds of these build in ︎('ω'︎ )
Bold to assume this person has an iPhone :)
I copy paste them :) http://japaneseemoticons.me/all-japanese-emoticons/

#244Wondering how people feel about analytics on small sites such as these? Including a Google Analytics tag seems to go against the ethos of such a site, but a lot of people like to know who is visiting their blog and so including some sort of analytics should be an option.
Self hosting seems to be a decent tradeoff. Analytics services like Fathom [0], which provides a free, self-hosted solution, let you track basic statistics about your site without the data being siphoned off to some company. I have seen discussion around whether the use of analytics should even be necessary, but I feel like that's a separate conversation :)

#245I might like it if I didn’t have to sign up, and if I could self host it.

Kubernetes uses it throughout, so there mist be some increased usage just because of that.

#248Things I would like in a blogging platform: * Generate lightweight static website * Good clean default CSS so I don't have to mess with it * Automatically upload website to CDN and trigger expirations as necessary. * Self-hosted * Runs on AWS Lambda or any other Function as a Service equivilient * Has a super lightweight CMS that I can easily use on both desktop and mobile, so if I have ideas I can start writing anyw…
Except for being "self hosted" and the "front end to git" we're building that as a commercial service.
Not much to show yet but you can follow us on Twitter for updates in a couple of months: https://twitter.com/plumacloud
We're also considering providing our CMS as headless via an API so that you can connect it to your SSG and make your own template, host it wherever you want, etc, but we haven't decided yet on the pricing for that but it would be much cheaper than our main product.

This is a great, great app. I use it and love it.
I agree, bear is great. I miss it - I no longer have an iPhone and am Windows dependent :-(. I have made the best use of OneNote as I can - but the ease of categorisation of thoughts within the bear app will always be the best imo.
Try out Notion. They recently changed their free plan to have unlimited blocks.

Nail on the head. They're just weird, at least in the context of English phonetics. That's the reason I discourage their adoption. I'd much rather we just all agree that kilobyte means 2^10 bytes. Or find words that aren't weird.
If I remember correctly, a big motivation for this change was the fact that disk manufacturers intentionally used base-10 definitions so they could advertise larger numbers for disk capacity. But presumably they still do that, and presumably people still often don't notice.
