Now that the site is off WordPress, I can finally start doing a bunch of things I’ve wanted to do for years. Here are the first two:
1. Auto-posting side-project releases
When I tag a GitHub release on one of my side projects — tldl, listentomore, discogs-mcp, and others — a post now appears on this site automatically. Title, tagline, release notes, and a link back to the GitHub release.
I ship a lot of small improvements, and historically none of that work was visible anywhere except the GitHub tab nobody reads. Now it shows up on the blog as a first-class content type.
2. Per-content-type RSS feeds
If you only want the long essays and not my link posts or quotes about other people’s writing (or the release notes, for that matter), you can now subscribe to just those. There are six feeds:
- Everything — the full firehose
- Essays only
- Link posts
- Quotes
- Releases
- Summary — titles and descriptions only
I’ve also updated /subscribe with the full list. And a reminder that RSS is very much alive and well. Get started with What is a Feed?.
