Bearblog Editor 2.0
Importance: 6 | # | projects, tech
About a month ago I built an online editor for myself to write posts for this blog. Since then I have been using it on a daily basis and I have noticed some shortcomings and features that I would like. Here's the updated editor now - leneditor.
Changes:
- Replaced the
title-linkwith atitlefield. I no longer put the link in header. - I now have an
importancefield. Only a few close friends open this blog - every now and then. I want to include some signal to a link's importance so they can prioritize. This also allows for organization of the blog and easier indexing. I first saw this on gwern.net. - Posts can now be saved. Since this is a static site, everything is stored on localstorage. This will allow for writing multiple posts - or posts over time. This isn't really necessary, but...
- The '#' before each tag is now removed. It looked ugly.
The main goal of this tool is to reduce the friction in writing posts. We should be more paranoid of trivial inconveniences.
I made these changes in ~40 minutes using claude-3.7-sonnet - all vibes. Here's the conversation and final code.
