I've recently started a more loosely-organized blog, separate from my main online presence on Bear: https://hedy.bearblog.dev.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

cmdpackage 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 -

If anyone has read or is reading the books I'll mention here, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
I recently finished Salt, Sugar, Fat -- it's a really interesting look into how the processed food industry exploit our taste buds and rely on these three ingredients to make food more appealing and addictive. It took me quite a while to finish it but it got me interested in dieting and nutrition and I've started to become more informed an careful in what I consume ever since.
The Ghostwriter is a cool crime/mystery novel I finished in 2 days where a daughter uncovers the truth behind the murders of her father's siblings - a 5 decade old case. It's such a page turner and the story just gets more and more twisty - got me guessing even till the last chapter.
Careless People is a memoir by Sarah Wynn-Williams that exposes drama and events and the people in Facebook over the 7 years she was employed there. Page turners in nonfiction is rare; I finished this in less than two days. It's so interesting and engaging that I sometimes grew skeptical of the credibility of the stories, but considering it's Facebook, it's silicon valley, and it's Mark Zuckerberg and the like, the events are probably all true and I eventually found it pretty believable.
Currently, I'm reading House of Huawei which talks about Huawei history, and The Memory Police, a Japanese magic realism novel.
