mr. coyier's solution using an HTML form to create a new file in git had the perfect level of simplicity and classic web hackiness. i can now post to my blog from a simple url using gh auth and @eleven_ty . → stillness.digital/new 404boyfriend/1524203538854809601

for convenience, I also converted the rest of the site to 11ty from a single HTML file, so I can build both the blog-roll and RSS from a directory of content files.

right now dates are displayed in UTC? so that'll need some adjusting lol but I think it's just a matter of calculating the ISO offset to fix timezones. (i kinda like that the timezone is also a partial indicator of my location at the time of writing so)

todo: - fix dates - add netlify function to manually make gh call (removes client-side form handler JS and extra gh submission screen) - generate og images from dates and post text

✅ fixed timezones (defaults to NYC, updates if gps is provided in the content) ✅ add permalinks (looking into if i can do the og thing without individual pages; i like the long-scroll single-page wandering vibe) ⏳ gotta build a way (geolocation api?) to provide gps in the form

oh my god twitter doesn’t include alt text from images in their API

forgot I already had a thread for this one 404boyfriend/1526404037280600064

✅ gps can now be added to posts when granted via a Geolocation API request.
