Creating a "Today I Learned (TIL)" Section for My Hugo Website Notes on adding a TIL section to share small learnings easily.

I documented how I created this section for my Hugo blog here: navendu.me/posts/til-se...

I added a "Today I Learned" section to my blog to share the small stuff I learn every day.

My goal was to create a space where I can quickly publish shards of knowledge that would otherwise be lost to my future self and others.

I found this excellent interactive tutorial on CSS Flexbox (which I use a lot) that helps you intuitively understand how to use it properly.

I should look for more such CSS tutorials instead of trying all possible values for a property until I get what I want.

Screenshot reading:

"Aaron died in 2013. He took his own life, having been hounded by the Department of Justice for years over the crime of (literally) downloading too many articles from JSTOR. Upon his death, the entire internet mourned. Books have been written about him, documentaries have been produced. It felt back then as though there was this massive, Aaron-shaped hole. There kind of still is, even today.

Sam Altman and OpenAI have scraped practically the entire Internet. JSTOR, YouTube, Reddit… so long as the content is publicly accessible, OpenAI’s stance appears to be that copyright law is only for little people.

For this, Altman has been crowned the new boy-king of Silicon Valley."

Both Aaron Swartz and Sam Altman were members of the first Y Combinator cohort.

There's a CMS in My IDE! Why I started using Front Matter CMS to work with my Hugo-based static website and how you can do it, too.

I love seeing how users customize #FrontMatter to fit their workflows! Thanks @pottekkat.bsky.social for sharing your experience and setup. πŸ™

Front Matter runs entirely in Visual Studio Code and has been a pleasant exception.

I have been using Front Matter CMS to manage my Hugo-based blog for the past month.

Spoiler: It works great!

I had tried other CMS solutions before, but every single one had annoying gaps that prevented me from committing fully.
