Ironic, considering that FoodWishes has been on Blogspot forever. Blogspot (Google) could auto-generate it on the fly.

This can be done through Nautilus scripts.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

ghostty --working-directory=$(pwd)

- It looks good. Or more correctly, it is easy to make it look good. If one spends a lot of time in the Terminal emulator, it looking good has some positives.

- It uses plain text configuration that is easy to modify and version control.

Edit: - At least on Linux, foot's support for windows and tabs is limited to starting an entirely new process.

The article is good, but I am more impressed by how the author has been posting every day since May 12th, 2008.

My old blog posts come up in the first page of search results for niche topics a lot, and it is very satisfying when someone reaches out to say that they benefited from it.

On a side note, after writing frequently for ~12 years, I didn't write anything for the next 6. This discussion came at the right time - it nudged me to publish two posts yesterday.

New comment by sdqali in "Show HN: Gist Blog - Share gists as reader friendly pages"

sdqali — Wed, 02 Oct 2013 01:57:50 +0000

May be blog is not the right name for it. This is useful in a situation where you want to write something quickly without going to the lengths of publishing a full blog post and then want to share with someone who is not in to Gists and GitHub.

Also, see http://gist.io where I took the idea from.

Cheers.
