+# The linkblog a few links in.
+
+If I wrote a post for every time I said "I want to post more on the blog", this would be one of the most prolific publications online.
+
+This time around, I decided to try things different and reduce the barriers to posting by integrating it into one of my well-honed routines: reading news and blogs. For this to succeed, I needed to be able to post from any device I was reading from. This was a bit harder than I anticipated, because until then the blog was just a `cli` tool that took in some text and generated the static assets.
+
+After a few wilder ideas (eg. let's build an iOS gemtext editor that lets me post to a webhook), I landed on something a bit simpler†: I'll save the post to pinboard with the tag `linkblog`, and save my comments as gemtext in the description field; on the other end, a cron job fetches the bookmarks, generates gemtext and replaces the tag, and updates the blog using the CLI.
+
+It took a few goes to get the cron working correctly, but it worked! Not just on the technical side, but on the habit-forming side: This month I've written as many posts as I had since 2017. Maybe next year I can hit that first milestone of at least one post a week!

-I really like this concept! And the modules in the back have a nice sci-fi feel to them, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be available for purchase :( I’d like to see more repairable products out there. Just recently I found out about the framework laptop [1] and I think this will be my next computer.
