These are the Nextcloud apps that are activated on my Nextcloud instance:

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.

Codecademy was once a great source to learn new programming languages, but it seems in the last year, they started to push harder to increase revenue. After login you get presented a page to buy Pro access (and you need to find that small “Back” link), Pro banners everywhere and popular courses like the one to learn Python 3 are Pro-only anymore. Seems like I need to find another source to learn some Python basics for my seminar paper about Falcon.

Like Jamie Tanna, I now added the series taxonomy (more on taxonomies in the Hugo documentation) to my blog. The first series is “Using Windows”. I plan to make more use of this feature in the future.

I’m expanding my hugo-micropub endpoint all the time. My next planned features are:

1. automatic webmention sending, probably by using Telegraph
2. automatic posting to my Microblog.pub instance
3. support for updating entries (I already built support for querying content items)

This is my first micro-post on my blog in the new micro section. I updated my theme to better handle posts with no titles. And: I added support for likes. (You’ll probably see some in the future.)
