The idea reminds me of Sweetcron, from a few years back.

#62This is ridiculously beautiful personal site them. My only complaint is that it requires a separate site for the posting of content.
If I was a talented dev, I think I would have potentially taken the Svbtle style wordpress backend and used wordpress as the blogging engine so the site and posts came from the same controlled source. A theme that integrates with Twitter, GitHub, Dribble as well as this one would do insanely well on Themeforest.

#63One more thing, when I am browsing your site on the iPad, the social integration is not working perfectly, e.g. Can't scroll your tweets..etc

#64Spotted a bug on this. If you go back or forward in your browser to a blog post, it just shows a bunch of JSON code. You have to reload to get the site to properly show.
Issue fixed. Please let me know if you find any more issues, or create an issue in github. Thanks!!
Thanks for taking care of this! I like what you're doing with this. As a Tumblr-head, I think you should also consider adding follow, like and reblog functionality. The API also has functions for this.
But either way, I'll be keeping an eye on this!

Also, middle-clicking a link opens it in the same tab/window. Is that intentional?
Came here to mention this exact issue. (And related, e.g. cmd+clicking.)
Mislav wrote a great post on how to do this robustly: http://mislav.uniqpath.com/2011/03/click-hijack/
Hope that helps!

#66I love the concept.
Design-wise, I see a lot of things that remind me of svbtle (not trying to imply anything, just thought it was interesting)

#67Earlier quoted context omitted.
I fixed this issue just haven't pushed to rigoneri.com yet.. Thanks!!
Fix deployed! Thanks again!
I don't know what this fix included but I can't see part of the text in my browser (about 1100 width). There should probably be some margin on the right side as well so text doesn't touch the border (or overflow).
Re: Introducing Syte, An open sourced personal site that has social integrations
#68As mentioned by others, syte currently requires javascript to view blog posts.
For my projects, I have a little trouble deciding when it is ok to require javascript be enabled. What is the general consensus? Is progressive enhancement no longer a concern? How do you start new web projects, with javascript added after basic functionality is established or with it at the core?

#69When I click a link that goes to another page and then click back, my scroll position isn't preserved.

#70This is very, very cool. One request: would you consider making the color thing not part of the license but just a "polite request"? I understand where you're coming from and have no problem complying, but it's a little confusing and unclear what the legal implications of the rule might be. For example, what if someone forks it and changes the design, getting rid of the border around the pic entirely? I think your ru…
Agreed! Will do! Thanks for the suggestion!
