The beginning

I have decided I want my own website. This is my journal of that process.

I want it to have:

• A blog, where I can write whatever I want.
• A journal of the current thing I’m working on.
• Books I’ve read, and my thoughts on them.
• Music I’ve heard, and my thoughts on it.
• Interesting things I’ve found.
• Some way for people to subscribe to it all.
• Some way for people to comment on the stuff.
• What I have done myself, in music, programming, learning, and life.
• A now page (see [https://nownownow.com]).

Other things I want:

• Email that lives on my domain, so you can contact me.
• To be able to run programs in different programming languages on the server, so I can have my own little army of webservices.
• I don’t want to host the website myself. I believe it is silly to host your own stuff, when it’s much better for the planet to focus that kind of thing elsewhere.

I want to use the following stuff:

• Markdown for writing stuff.
• I want the website to be static.
• tailwindcss for styling.
• git for source control.
• If I need a database, I’ll probably use postgres or mysql.
• Graphql for communication between things, if applicable.

I think that’s enough for now. Welcome!
