capjamesg[d] What is everyone working on with their websites this weekend?
# capjamesg[d] I have a few refinements I may make to my editing tool.
# capjamesg[d] Like adding a preview mode.
# 
afrodidact I have decided to move my professional portfolio site to github pages, I previously hosted it on AWS Amplify. After this I will try out simple.css for deploying my personal website
# afrodidact My dilemma has long been how best to separate my personal interests with my professional ones. There is an overlap between many of my interests but for the most part I want a site that can serve as an online resume/portfolio, and then my main personal website which is my online identity and the one I truly invest in.
# afrodidact I wonder how other people have navigated this? Do you combine the two or have separate domains for each like me?
# afrodidact What is your editing tool James?

# jimwins I started working on a Python version of my blog software (the current one is PHP). Not sure if I'll implement it all in Python, or just the read-only public-facing parts. Longer term goal is to implement that in more languages just to play around. Maybe load balance across them all just for fun.

petermolnar Re comics layout and "evolution" of multi column/interesting layouts: it's exactly why the web is so boring these days. This idea of "evolution" so mobile bricks can quickly scroll over it is plain wrong.
# petermolnar Interesting layouts are painfully missing these days, and optimizing everything for a 6" display hurts fun, creativity, basically artistic freedom.

# capjamesg[d] jimwins[d]: That is exciting!
# capjamesg[d] afrodidact you can see it at https://jamesg.blog/create/
# capjamesg[d] I use it to publish my blog posts.
# capjamesg[d] It’s not perfect, but it works well for me!
# paperbritt afrodidact: Moved back and forth on this myself. Sometimes I want my personal and professional combined into one true identity, after all, it's all me. And sometimes I want to really highlight my portfolio. Most recently I'm trying a combined effort, pulling in all my stuff into my website, my central hub, with a (in desperate need of a) tidy tags and categories system so it's easy to just show off projects or to browse a topic de
# paperbritt If I can't be cringe on the web, then what's the point?
