A new “Share” option

Published on in 💬 Micro

Thanks to AddToAny, there’s now a “Share” option on my blog. If you find an article share-worthy, simply click on that link and select how to share this article. It should be pretty simple.

In Hugo I use the following line of code to create a share link:

<a href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url={{ .Permalink }}{{ with .Title }}&title={{ . }}{{ end }}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">{{ T "share" }}</a>

{{ T "share" }} is a translation string, but if you don’t care about translations, simply replace this with your preferred string.

How to start the day well

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Today I got up at 7 am (although I could have slept a little longer) and instead of eating breakfast, I started directly turning on my PC and finishing an open programming assignment. It took me about an hour, but after finishing it, I felt so good.

Automatic Webmention sending

Published on in 💬 Micro

My dynamic Hugo backend (it’s not just Micropub anymore) should now send Webmention requests automatically after publishing a post. I first thought about using the Telegraph API for that, but then just took the webmention library written in Go by Will Norris.

ActivityPub support for my blog?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I just found this article on how to create a basic ActivityPub server. It let’s me think about adding ActivityPub support to my hugo-micropub project (which then becomes more than just a Micropub endpoint for my Hugo setup). It’s definitely a project I finally want start once I’m done with this semester.
