Syndicating an RSS feed to Mastodon using a Cloudflare worker

Everything shared from my site to Mastodon runs out of a single all activity RSS feed. You're welcome to subscribe to it, but it's formatted with social syndication in mind — emojis, hashtags and truncation that match that use case. This feed is populated from a fairly verbose processContent collection. It also populates my sitemap and search index since there's plenty of overlap in format and the data being handled. Anyways.

Making blog post source files available with 11ty

You can now view the source file for any blog post on my site by replacing the trailing slash with .txt in the URL. For example, the source file for this post is available here. You can also replace the trailing slash with the original file extension of the source. Most of my blog posts are composed in Markdown, so the extension will usually be .md, but my setup also supports the occasional .ojs (for Observable notebooks) or .html post. But .txt will always work.

Eleventy Nested Pagination

Eleventy (the cool static site generator) has a great feature called Pagination which allows you to iterate over a list of things in chunks and produce multiple output files. As I was migrating this very site over to Eleventy, I found I needed to perform a double pagination. This is when, during paginating over a list of blog post years, I found I wanted to also paginate again over the posts in those years, so I could have at most 20 posts on a single list page.

Weaving music data in and out of my personal website

I started integrating music data into my personal website when I added Last.fm artist and album displays to my now page. Initially, I tried sourcing artist images from a few different services, knowing that Last.fm had updated their API to stop serving them. After a fair bit of searching I found that most services that supplied artist images covered only a small fraction of my library and often supplied the wrong image when there were multiple artists sharing the same name.

After leveraging some new web components on my site, I decided to refactor the code powering this into a web component specific to my needs.
