Hello

Published

i wrote this post just so that there's at least one post on this site when i publish it. it also has the backstory to the puzzle site.

After a few years of holding the lavalo.id domain, I finally did something with it. Right now there are two parts to this site: the main site (which you’re currently on) which hosts my projects and blog posts, and the puzzle site  which is on a separate subdomain. I hope you like Comic Sans.

I initially used a Jekyll site  for my puzzle site. The workflow goes like this:

As time goes on, I got lazy at updating it and just stopped. I still think it would be neat to have a puzzle site though, so I made a new puzzle site using Django. It also has some other cool stuff:

The main feature I’d like the website to have is some sort of import functionality, so that I don’t get lazy with updating it. I want to be able to just copy-paste a link and generate a template page, with the rules and screenshot ready, so I can just modify that and publish the post quickly.

Turns out developing the import function takes quite a lot of effort, so I haven’t done that yet. Let’s hope I finally get to it so the cycle doesn’t repeat.
