    Bearblog is awesome for those who want to quickly get started with blogging and people who don't want to deal with too much customization or the technical side of things. I've recently started a more loosely-organized blog, separate from my main online presence on Bear: https://hedy.bearblog.dev.

    This year I hope to pick up a few non-fiction books I have left as DNF for whatever reasons.

    To start this off, I recently finished The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green and wrote a quick review. It was better than I expected when I initially began reading in 2023, was a little lost towards the middle and the ending got me hooked again.

    Now I'm picking up Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, and so far, it has been extremely interesting -- I hope it lasts and I get to finally finish it.

    I love that Tildes Docs has these pages, and thanks for mentioning it! However, my goal for the post is primarily to encourage meta pages on personal websites; examples included focus on individuals, with links to pages either on their website or personal blog. I think it isn't uncommon for project/product documentation to include a changelog or a meta FAQ page, for instance, but would love to see more of it for personal websites :)

    I've been hacking together my own customized static site generator for my blog! See context here

    The end goal is to replace Hugo, so that whenever I want to extend or add functionality, I can just adjust my script rather than spending hours pouring through Hugo docs and forums hoping it supports my special use-cases.

    It's written in Go, using text/template for gemini & email outputs, and html/template for html, rss, and atom outputs. Attempting to make yet another general-purpose SSG is a non-goal. It's why I'm planning to move off Hugo in the first place.

    yeah, I think I forgot to make what I wanted clear, sorry. So not for building a CLI, but more like a sort of "integrated?" parsing and using line-oriented commands and args in a repeated loop or a TUI. Thanks for the pointers @ainar-g

    (Go beginner here) Currently working on a small line-mode driven program in Go. From the Python world there's the cmd package which provides a simple framework for doing things similar to what I'm working on. Is there a similar package in Go? I found one that literally says "python cmd package in go" but it was update ~9 years ago or something. Other programs that does line-oriented command parsing I've seen, they use their own framework for building the commands. So maybe I also have to do it myself
