Excellent post, and I love your sites minimal, old school design. I finally found the right corner of the internet where people actually think about this kind of thing! It's so frustrating how over the years search engine results just give you bloated, pointless articles that exist only to rank high in SEO and get ad revenue.
I too have been using the site:reddit.com method, but it sucks to essentially only have one for-profit website as the one I use to research things.
Full text RSS would make it even more readable!
I'm gonna send you a reply to your article some time later. I am too tired right now.
My short review is that you want to separate the backend from the frontend. Backend processes your request and emits a JSON response. Frontend, be it CLI, web client or a smartphone app, just sends your request and shows the response in a human-friendly way. I did it in a similar fashion for my project.
I just looked up into my search history and saw I am either:
Well, for the last two I cannot think of any solution. Problem (2) can be substituted with in-reference search (cppreference.com, lib.rs, docs.rs, developer.mozilla.org). However, sometimes I want to be sure that I am using the real link to the real thing, not the scam one. For example, I sometimes want to get access to the official latest GLSL specification, or sometimes overhyped people tend to name things by their marketing brands. Like, I ask 'What is X?' (WhatsApp, for instance) and I get a response 'X is .. just X, it's really good' and when I need to find what is X, I usually search on Wikipedia, because on the web search I would only see the promotions of X.
(I'm out, wait for chapter 2)
Great Post, really inspiring. But I'm mesmerised by the design. How did you achieve this? Is it a template or did you built it from scratch? I'm returning to blog after leaving ten years ago and this is exactly the kind of look I was looking for. Congratulations.
The site is open source. Basically just a patchwork of different things I liked in other sites.
Sass styles are in assets/sass/ and templates are in layouts/, in case you're not familiar with Hugo.
The main layout is a flex container which has a single child. Above the flex container is the centered nav. Then for the headings I just added borders on each side but the bottom.
