The Deal

To encourage myself to write more prose and not just tinker with the code of this website I've made a deal with myself that for each new page written and published I will allow myself to add a feature. In this case a feature is adding and configuring a plugin, or implementing a something mildly involved like a navbar or a tagging system.

In approximate order, the features want to add are:

• navbar (build from scratch)
• code highlighting
• a rss feed
• a basic theme, probably copied from somewhere
• make external links look different to internal ones
• favicon and page titles
• add reading info to posts (post date/updated, word count, reading time)
• link posts to their source on github to view their history
• a post tagging system and a tags page
• site search
• deploy to AWS or Cloudflare instead of Vercel
• comments based on github issues
