triplesidedpage

https://triplesided.page is my personal website. It hosts notes from my [[foam]] workspace along with other bits of information.

It is hosted on [[angora]].

Intent and motivation

It isn't really meant to be a blog, or even really a portfolio site. It's more of a place for me to put stuff: stuff I've learned, stuff I've done, stuff I think is neat. It's also a tool to try overcoming a personal problem. I struggle to open up to others and share what I'm interested in, so I wanted to create a place for those things to live where myself and others can browse them.

It's also just fun have a personal site to mess around with. It's like moving your furniture around, but on the computer!

How it's made

The site is generated with Eleventy. My Eleventy configuration is based off of these:

• 11ty/eleventy-base-blog
• binyamin/eleventy-garden

todos

Things I'd like to improve about the site.

• "All Notes" in addition to the tag browser
  • Alphabetized list of all note pages
• Icon/favicon
• More semantically accurate markup
  • e.g. using <nav> instead of <div> for the header, <article> for content.
• 404 page
• Move off of Eleventy/Foam, roll my own static site generator
  • The text and the code go hand in hand (transjovian.org): lists what software other people use to generate and manage their personal sites.
• OpenGraph data.
• Audit and improve accessibility and compatibility with text-based browsers (e.g. Lynx).
  • Coincides with using more semantically accurate markup
  • Skip to content, ARIA labels
• Changelog
  • Link to pages that have been updated since the last push, summarize meaningful changes (inspired by https://100r.co/site/log.html).
• Tag summaries
  • Short summaries for tags, could show them on the tag pages or root page to give more context.
• Log
  • Not a blog, really. Shorter-form, once-a-day (probably less), publish a feed?
