@evanpro Not sure if kidding, but this year any extra features are likely to follow post-once-then-syndicate principles

@monkchips Every repo is perfect until you ruin it with code

@evanpro Lol right? I really want something minimal that meets my needs with little extra

Template changes will happen in the source repo, I don’t mind doing “dev work” for those

Main features are that I’m the only one that can log in, there’s no admin, posting is done from the top of the home page, and every post has an edit-this-post link.

I’m calling it goldfrog,it’s going to be written in #golang, which isn’t actually important.

I’ve barely blogged for 3-4 years because of the friction in doing so. Never wanted Wordpress and their ilk, and the nerdy git-powered static site generators required well, git.
