Forgotten Anouncements 1 - The Blog

2015-11-30 09:30:00 +0000 UTC by killme

While working on the server it has happened on several occasions that we actually rolled out a new feature, but under time pressure we didn't quite announce it right. Time to change that right?

For this first post in this series, yes we have a lot of this stuff, we'll go a little meta and talk about the blog itself.We never really even announced this blog officially internally as we want to make sure we have some content on it first.

There's nothing really special about it's implementation. It is just a collection of basic webpages after all. It is just a simple thing that was thrown together over the course of a weekend. The pages are stored in a git repository that gets automatically pulled by the webserver and then the markdown and json in it gets pre-rendered into pages. All pages are served directly from ram so it's quite fast (at least it was on my machine).

It also has a little feature you probably don't know about (as it is not linked anywhere yet). It has an rss feed that you can subscribe to.
