Also, put down Markdown and give our Scroll a try: https://scroll.pub

It now powers sites like my own blog (https://breckyunits.com/), knowledge bases like PLDB.com, and our first new public domain daily newspaper called the Long Beach Pub (https://longbeach.pub/1-3-2023.html).

>> So if you write a book, and sell it for $20, and I make a copy of your book and sell it for $10, you are ok with this?

If I make a hammer, and sell it for $20, and the person I sell it to uses it to make more hammers that he sells for $10, are you okay with this?

Your question shows a shallowness of thinking. What is a book? Did you come up with 100% of the words in the book? If not, are you tracking down and compensating all the people who invented the words you used (or their ancestors?). What about the letters? Let's talk about the machinery you used to print the book. Are you providing a "royalty" to the printing press manufacturer?

The problem with me wasting my time is that your question is so basic and shows such lack of thought that I can't distinguish whether you are being genuine or are a paid shill by the (c)opywrong regime out there muddying the waters. And yes, there are a tremendous amount of paid shills out there spreading false and dishonest information about (c)opywrongs.

I feel like kicking this story up a notch: Visit his TreeNotation website, best illustrated at [1] and then back up to his root Github repo [2].I'm finding this stuff a serious time sink :-)

FOUNDER: https://breckyunits.com/

Multiple columns for wide windows is something I find interesting. I haven't seen anyone do a two-column layout which I find satisfactory. https://breckyunits.com/ is a fascinating example, but the layout goes vertically, so the result is bizarre: the most recent article will be cheek by jowl with an old page from 2012. I think it would need be the opposite, wrap horizontally, and scroll-in-place. Something like that. If I ever make another site, I might try to do something along those lines (and maybe use a red/blue centric color scheme).

I used to think so too. But no static hosting sites give you access to access logs, easily anyway. Github Pages, no. Netlify, you get server-side analytics for $9/mo but you need to upgrade to an enterprise plan just to get the actual logs. Cloudflare Pages require you to set up a full on sync.

All I want is to be able to occasionally run some duckdb query over the logs.

So I gave up after trying these all and now just run on my own server. One extra benefit of this is that subdomains are a piece of cake (especially with Caddy, which is so much nicer than nginx in terms of automatic TLS). Here's my Caddyfile: https://github.com/eatonphil/eatonphil.com/blob/main/Caddyfi....

Having such easy control of DNS and also redirects at the server level is pretty convenient. I haven't done it on my personal domain yet but on work domains I set up aliases like slack.$company.com, discord.$company.com, all of which are just shortlinks to links that are easy to forget.
