One of those other options is RSS, a standard format for aggregating content across the internet. At least that's what I think it does?</p> <p>This format feels prehistoric, and yet I've never once interacted with it. Apparently Hugo, the web framework I use, has native support for it? Maybe I should actually mess with that some?</p> <p>It's hard to tailor my content for a format I don't really even use...</p> <p>Do I need to format things in a specific way? I might have to. I'll let y'all know what I find.</p> <p><strong>Update from a few hours later:</strong> Managed to clean the feed somewhat! Should have better metadata, utility pages like the sitemap shouldn't be included in the feed anymore.</p> https://engineerkappa.github.io/post/25-07-26-webdevishard/ Sat, 26 Jul 2025engineerkappa@gmail.com (EngineerKappa) https://engineerkappa.github.io/post/25-07-26-webdevishard/ <p>Do you ever encounter a task that's kind of tedious, and you realize you know some way to make it go faster, only to spend way longer automating it than it would've taken in the first place?</p> <p><em>Hi, this is the programmer bunny speaking!</em></p> <p>The site you're reading here is written in <a href="https://gohugo.io/">Hugo</a>. Hugo is a tool/ framework/ thingamajig that lets you generate static HTML from Markdown files, manage content formatting, and some other things I don't feel like getting into.</p> <p>We just spent <strong>Way</strong> too long trying to set our site up, so ideally this should be easier to update now? Dump a blog post or two on here when we're feeling it. Hopefully.</p> <p>Still can't help but wonder if it would've been easier gritting our teeth and writing raw HTML to do these things. Who knows. This is just a single markdown file we have to edit, and it automatically gets linked elsewhere on the site.</p> <p>What else will we post here?</p> <p>It is a mystery!</p> https://engineerkappa.github.io/post/25-07-25-helloworld/ Fri, 25 Jul 2025engineerkappa@gmail.com (EngineerKappa) https://engineerkappa.github.io/post/25-07-25-helloworld/ <p><em>Hello</em>, world!</p> <p><code>Hello, world!</code></p> <ul> <li> <p>h</p> </li> <li> <p>e</p> </li> <li> <p>l</p> </li> <li> <p>l</p> </li> <li> <p>o</p> </li> <li> <p>w</p> </li> <li> <p>o</p> </li> <li> <p>r</p> </li> <li> <p>l</p> </li> <li> <p>d</p> </li> </ul> <p>dlrow olleh</p>
