Motivation

• Want to use my blog as a public notes

---

Note for myself as I convert this into a CMS with github issues.

• Merging existing posts with github issues
  • Mirror the existing post structure in the github issue
• To do
  • Post page for a github issue
    • markdown parsing for the github issue body
  • working tags for github issue
  • github issues showing up in rss feed
  • New label on issues to distinguish "draft" or "published"
  • Deployment changes: trigger when github issue is updated/created by the repo owner
    • vercel has github token env var already?
  • setup comments with uterances?
    • reactions
  • unrelated: upgrade to 11ty 2.0
  • markdown rendering tests
    • images
  • edits (e.g. label changes) can change publish date - show more visibility on the page?
  • reactions, ability to go back to the issue

Things I'm confused about in 11ty

• why does "posts.json" have "posts" as a "tags"
  • what makes posts a collection? how is that setup?

how things work

• collections
• "posts" is a collection of all posts
• "tagList" is a collection of all tags
• "githubIssues"
• then every tag is it's own collection, e.g. "books"
• special all collection: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/collections/#the-special-all-collection
• issues are data, and cached
