Bringing up webcrumbs: my annotated bookmarks

By Justin G. on 24SEP16MON

I’m adding a new section, Webcrumbs. It’s basically raw notes from things that I’ve seen and interacted with on the web. The point is to help me find things that I remember seeing “recently”¹ so I can be sure I’m remembering it right. There’s some more details at the top of that page. For now it’s in dark launch mode, it’s the MVP for what I can use. But it won’t scale, and I’d like to be able to integrate it into the tags and categories.

Future features (unordered):

• Design plan how this is going to integrate.
• Add a generator for archiving by years. Right now it just dumps them all into one page, which is fine but in a month or two it won’t work anymore.
• Add a generator for making posts of yesterdays webcrumbs. At some point there will be an RSS feed and integration with the everything feed.
• Integrate with tags in the footer of my posts. At some point there will be a new section showing up in the footer. That footer is getting kind of big; I wonder if I should do something different there?
• Consider making a Jekyll plugin for this.

For now, it’s working and helping.
