90s homepage creation software

This website is generated and updated by this code:

• http://github.com/ernop/90s-homepage

Features

• Edit articles
• Publish static files of the articles
• Upload images
• Add images to a page

Technical description

• C# dotnetcore application
• db: Sqlite
• backend: nginx
• Configuration: nearly none
• Development: Visual Studio

How it works

• Edit Articles
• When done, 'publish'
• Click "publish all"
• This generates a bunch of static files and syncs them to a folder exposed to a web server
• Done

Goals

• Minimal effort editing
• Non-time-based articles

Conceptual Goal

• For a given famous idea person's twitter, rather than having thousands of sequential tweets in a list, have them as a cloud with related tweets (through tags) naturally linking to each other.
• For a single person, it's equivalent to twitter except that each tweet would fit into a large idea space where closeness implies relatedness
• For multiple people, you'd jump between websites.

Soon TODO:

• starring of articles? But maybe just a tag "todo" is enough.

TODO

• https support
• keyboard shortcuts for edit
• sorting by recency in table
• right-aligned images / text flowing around images
• mobile view
• Better image formatting
• Better default CSS
• Weigh autogenerated links according to link rarity, not number
• Various fancy highlighting things for js - when you hover tag X, other instances of it subtly are highlighted
• Can I add search easily? Or just add a "search on google" form to every page with +site:host.com
• All tags list
• RSS feed of new/changed articles
• Display edit/creation date
• Versioning/history
• Comments for members
• Genericize it and have a complete installation flow - maybe too much
• No links on single-instance tags
• Tag autocompletion
• WYSIWYG editing
• internal link autocomplete while editing
• Detection of dead internal links
• Image thumbnail creation / image inlining properties
• Random page button - how to do in pure js?
• Force normalize everything
• Force lowercase all tags
• Existing tag deduplication - one-time pass
• Port over leela zero analysis stuff from twitter
• auto-suggest tags based on article contents? Some kind of similarity measure? So you'd have "have you considered adding these tags" in addition to autocomplete for tags
• Some discontinuity in how I render articles between admin view and published view. How to structure that so that changes would show up identically between them? Mainly for related articles view.
• link backs from admin view of an article to "view live"
• publish "dirty" module - when edit, set "needs publishing" and clear it when published. Also views/filters for "you are about to publish these changes"
• Favicon
• What does a full CD look like, and do I even want it? Check in to git, and have git actions publish to the site? That would be kind of cool but not actually save much time.

Bigger extensions

• Browser plugin / program. Screenshot => upload image => inline it in draft and visit page.
• ultimate way to copy content and comment on it, with links
• Also post to twitter automatically
• Autogenerated tags based on content
• Consume someone's twitter feed and generate a 90s homepage idea cloud with tags for it. i.e. for Taleb you'd have a dense set of ideas with autolinks to related ideas.
• Retweets/replies would be separate, and would go to someone else's ideal cloud.

Done

• distinguish clicked links
