BlogFlockThis morning Mr Overkill sent me the link to the AI Compass test, which I guess is a spin on the famous political compass test. It’s a bunch of questions—27? 29? 15? Who knows!—and at the end you get your location on the map and your archetype, from a list…

In Episode 8, I chat with Brennan, the author of brennan.day. We talk about, among other things, writing routines, building community in the indie web, "start here" pages on personal websites, and more.

I just added two new themes to my minimalist doric-themes package.
doric-tiger is a light theme, while doric-lion is dark. Both use
orange and yellow colours. Below are sample screenshots.
The new themes will be available in version 1.2.0. I think they already are…
