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.
GitHub | ./Martijn.sh > Blog
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.
