The internet failed on its core promise.

The Websites We Deserve
Our lives run on websites. From banking apps to recipe notes, we have entrusted the web with virtually everything we care about. In exchange for our trust, the creators of the internet made us a promise: if you want to, you can create your own website and put it on the internet.

The @vowel.cc v0.7 beta has full native atproto publishing. Define a lexicon for a folder (e.g., `app.bsky.feed.post`) and if the shape of the markdown files in that folder matches the lexicon, Vowel will authenticate you and POST the record to your PDS. It works for any lexicons.

I noticed that I had misconfigured the dark mode variables for @vowel.cc's default stylesheet, so I went in to fix them and did a little restyling. I think it's feeling fairly slick if I do say so myself. (I generated the color scheme programmatically with a little app I've been developing.)

I just improved hot reloading in @vowel.cc, so now file creations and deletions should load instantly. And oh it feels so snappy.

My brother just started a outdoor movie theatre, trading on nostalgia for the VCR era. So I made him a VCR-menu themed website, using the Analog Mono font by @gleeson.dev: parkvideo.ca. I had a lot of fun creating static and scan lines with CSS. Built with @vowel.cc of course.

Logo reveal!!! My friend, the wonderful designer Megumi Yoshida, created a logo for @vowel.cc, and I think it is so beautiful. She used origami as the inspiration to create something that feels light and energetic — the way a blog should feel.
