    As you may be able to tell from the previous post I just launched Bookmark support in Tanzawa. I'm contemplating if I shouldn't add a dedicated "bookmarks" page that just makes a long list of bookmarks, but for now it's good enough.

    I realized one of the hardest parts about microformatting your html is making sure you haven't broken it in some subtle way. Mine were broken. I added some tests that verify a) I fixed them and b) they won't get broken again.

    However, it’s not just about raw size, but about an “ethos of small”. It’s caring about the users of your site: that your pages download fast, are easy to read, have interesting content, and don’t load scads of JavaScript for Google or Facebook’s trackers.
    Ben really hit the nail on the head with this one. The small web really lines up with my goals for Tanzawa – maybe this desire to return to a smaller, more independent web is part of a larger trend?

    I've got bookmarks working - it's been mostly a copy/paste of the reply templates and generalizing the views to share as much as possible.

    One thing I noticed was that while my  extract method works with sites with proper microformat or schema data - it doesn't work for sites without either. So tomorrow I'll modify it to default to the page title and then update that value based on parsed meta-data.

    Adding a bookmark in Tanzawa

    Added support for replies to my micropub endpoint today. Super simple. Adding support for bookmarks shouldn't take but a day or two as it's mostly the same as replies. Switching to Tanzawa is getting closer and closer.

  • Counting Down the Tasks

    I got a good question from Adam (@TalAdam) about why I have Tanzawa on a subdomain, rather than my main domain. While the answer is simple it's a good opportunity to discuss my plans for Tanzawa in the mid-term future.

    To answer Adam's question:

    1. 1. When I started Tanzawa I didn't have a domain (or even a name), so I started with a domain I owned.
    2. 2. I need to build up my minimal feature parity of my current blog before I can switch my main domain from Wordpress to Tanzawa.

    What's remaining for my minimal feature parity? Only three parts:  bookmarks/likes, checkins (w/ maps), and photo posts. Technically four - but photo posts are lower on the list. Once that's done I'll need to figure out how to migrate my data and create a huge redirect map for nginx. Perhaps by the end of the month? 

    Once I migrate my main site to Tanzawa what's left for this blog? I plan to redirect it somewhere on the tanzawa.blog domain. From there, I'll continuing using this blog as a development blog as I polish Tanzawa for a proper release that other people can use.
