    Substack

    ANSI art: substack-1



    i was hanging out with my friend adam fangsrud last weekend and he mentioned
    my return to blogging and said that he was excited to have added me to his
    rss feed. i dawned on me that when i built foodbark.io i hadn't even
    considered rss: it didn't even have an rss.xlm page. so i spent some time
    this week reviewing the code and realizing that a lot of things were, and a
    lot still are, set up poorly. basically i got the site working well enough
    back in febuary and had switched from code to content and had never looked back. luckily adam's rss reader is smart enough to have taken my index.xml
    page and rrs-i-fied it but i should count on that.

    simultaneously i was browsing substack and ran into an article by new yorker contributor catherine shannon a brief defense of cliché. the article spoke
    me as it feels very much like the sort of pedantic in a cute way stuff i aspired to write in my 20s, but the fact that she was a professional writer making money and finding success, in part, through substack kind of blew my mind. so suddenly i had gone from not really thinking about an audience to figuring out how to syndicate my blog across platforms to rss and to
    substack.

    in order to edit the code of the website and not break foodbark.io i had to first do some tweaking of the scripts i had written to migrate my writing
    and photos from obsidian where they are written in markdown over to the
    website which runs on hugo. i added a parameter -d for deploy so i could
    mess with things on a local server before deploying them to github and
    beyond to hostinger and foodbark.io and then beyond foodbark.io to substack and/or your rss feed. all of which wasn't really all that complicated but
    was definitely kind of fun. thanks adam for the inspiration.
