I’ve updated the CSS in my post composer to be a bit more like the CSS in my actual blog; we have better link, code, & blockquote styles, to be specific. It’s not exact since I don’t really want to pull in an entire syntax highlighting library & I’m too lazy to actually put everything in a monorepo where it can share CSS (tho, those are both things I might want to do eventually.
I’ve also updated my crossposter to post tags on Mastodon and Bluesky whenever I post something here. However, uh, i haven’t added any tags to this post, so I won’t know if it works until I write a future post, whoops (:
Last thing: apparently, my `Functor` in Rust post made it onto HackerNews?? I think the full path was bsky -> lobste.rs -> HN, which checks out. And as it turns out, getting onto HN is pretty good for SEO: my click rate saw a tenfold increase1. However, I made the classic mistake of looking at the HN comments, I really should not have done that…
In any case! I don’t plan on “optimizing” my content for anything. I am very proud of that blog post, not because of some external validation2, but because I am pleased with my writing quality for it. I will continue to post the things that I want, and right now, I felt like giving a small update. good night :)
