Clojurians Log v2

Hey guys I’ve set up a perun blog with heavy inspiration from @martinklepsch here: https://github.com/sooheon/sooheon.com What I’m having trouble understanding is the actual post writing process—it seems like the md files are named with the date and title, and this is repeated in the file header. Do you just have to do this by hand? How do you know when you will publish something when you’re just drafting? Do you go back and edit the filename? Some people have a uuid in there as well, all of this tells me this should be automated somehow, I just don’t see it. Essentially I’m asking what your post drafting/publishing process looks like. Thanks fro the help!

@sooheon I don't follow the date-in-filename convention and instead store date-published in the entry's metadata: https://github.com/pesterhazy/presumably/blob/master/build.boot

Is there a landing page product built out of perun (or other clojure/cljs backed libs)? I thought I remember hearing of one.

@pesterhazy thanks, will check out.

How do you add the uuid data?

manually (grep for uuid in the repo)

well,

(defun insert-random-uuid ()
  (interactive)
  (insert (shell-command-to-string "python -c 'import uuid, sys; sys.stdout.write(str(uuid.uuid4()))'")))

that's elisp 🙂

If you all were going to use a email vendor to mail yourself off a confetti site, anyone have recommendations?

I've never tried low scale email vendors, only purchases for giant corps who are cost insesitive

AWS Lambda + AWS SES perhaps?

ie a little node thing that sends an email, rate limit it with api gateway (i think this is possibleish)

that's a reasonable approach. I guess I could just toss it into a ddb and notify myself as well.

@mj_langford I remember seeing a pretty cool looking service for exactly that but not sure I can dig it up now

… and I think I found it: https://formkeep.com/. it’s 60$/mo though which is quite a bit depending on what this is for I guess

There’s a bunch more on this list: https://github.com/aharris88/awesome-static-website-services

Among the free ones this one looks good as well: https://formspree.io/

I was using a landing page generator, but you're into the thousands per year for some of them for fairly simple sites that are just SSLed for SEO reasons more than anything else

@martinklepsch that list is pretty cool

especially https://sheetsu.com looks cool
