Is this site designed to last? [71%]
DONE vanilla HTML/CSS
Yup. 100%. (static site generated from org files.) I usually try and check MDN to see if the CSS I’m using is kosher across browsers.
DONE Don’t minimize HTML
Yup.
TODO prefer one page over several
Well….that would kind of defeat the purpose of a digital garden. So I haven’t really done this one.
DONE End all forms of hotlinking
On the rare occasion I insert a math snippet, MathJax is used to render that, served from a Cloudflare CDN, as is default for org => html export. Also the occasional tweet embed. Other than that, downloaded all the necessary JS/CSS. (Minimal JS anyways; mainly used for tippy’s).
DONE Stick with native fonts
Switched to a system font stack.
DONE Obsessively compress your images
I mean, I don’t really have many images on the site right now, lol. I want to have more visual imagery though, so potentially I can come back to this later.
TODO Eliminate broken URL risk
Meh. I mean, hopefully I should be active enough with this website that I shouldn’t have to care too much. That being said…maybe I should think about this for future projects.
