+Technically speaking, this is all powered by some markdown files with custom metadata embedded in it and a <100 line (LINK https://git.tilde.town/vilmibm/blog/src/branch/trunk/make.sh bash script). I considered a static site generator...but I prefer scripting my own thing wrt blogging. It keeps me humble and I find that I don't use most of the features of off the shelf things. I wanted to take an idiosyncratic approach to drafting posts and have control over posting to all three of html, gemini, and gopher.

-TODO: decide on link formatting/processing. Considering a (LINK _url with protocol_ _title_) macro that either replaces with anchor tag for html or creates a footnote link in gopher or gemini style.
