blogsh.app looks different today. The menu maps subjects now instead of media types, there's a Releases page with every version since 1.0, and each subject on the bar has an RSS feed of its own. None of it touched a template — the whole menu is nine […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
The top of blogsh.app in light mode: banner, then a menu bar reading All, Start here, Why, Writing, Archive, Engine, Comments, Looks, Releases, with a search field.The same page in dark mode — same menu, dark background.

Pick a palette over SSH, judge it on the phone in your pocket. The wizard renders your own site in the candidate colours — light and dark, through the same code the build uses — uploads the preview and answers with a QR code. Seven palettes ship with it […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
A hand holds a tablet showing the blog.sh palette preview: the same blog rendered twice side by side, light mode in cream and gold, dark mode in brown. Behind it a laptop screen shows the terminal that produced it — the Sunflower palette picked from a list, its seven light and seven dark hex values, the upload confirmation, and a large QR code under the line "Scan with your phone to open the preview."

On 15 February 2013, Posterous published a post announcing it would shut down on April 30. Here is that post, on my blog, in 2026 — text, dates and links intact, pulled out of the Internet Archive's crawls of a feed that stopped being served thirteen years […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
A blog post titled "Posterous will turn off on April 30", dated 15 February 2013,
rendered on a ./blog.sh site: the date sits in a blue badge beside the text, which
announces that posterous.com and its mobile apps will be switched off, with steps
for downloading a backup of your Space.The same post as the Internet Archive captured it in 2013, in Posterous's own
grey-and-orange layout under the heading "The Official Posterous Space", with the
date printed in the left margin.
