TODO

  • Possible compatibility issues with older iOS devices. Let me know if you encounter an issue! I’ll be cleaning up the code in the meantime.
  • The only class not written by me is the markdown-html translation layer for which I’m using snarkdown. It does so using regex queries. As to not completely re-invent the wheel I’ve forked it for this purpose, but I’d like to write one myself.

    I’m a little lost. You mention hosting content on any instance, or on GitHub. How does that work? And if your content is elsewhere what is Lemmy doing? Authx?

      A lot of static site blog generators use markdown to create posts. Lemmy also uses markdown for its’ post formatting. From my understanding what OP has done is that he made this post on Lenmy and has created a front end that basically retrieves the given post from Lemmy and displays it with a more traditional blog style CSS as well as a few other pages that aren’t hosted on Lemmy.

        This is in it’s simplest form a blog frontend for Lemmy indeed!

        Ok so you’d literally be making a regular Lenny post to some particular community on some particular instance in that case, right?

          Exactly, in this case the actual post is this one and posted it here as a x-post.

          Edit: I own my instance, but you don’t have to own one in order to deploy this blog frontend.

      I sepperate the hosting of the content and the page itself. With a website you do need to still be serving a html page, because it has no backend the page can be served by GitHub for example.

      In theory you don’t have to touch the website anymore, so you use Lemmy as your markdown frontend.

      A constraint like this ensures someone can host their BlogOnLemmy without paying for anything like hosting space or running the instance themselves.
