Website Update

Big and small changes for the readers

It has been a little while since my last update, but I wanted to share a small website improvement that I am genuinely excited about.

One of the things I missed most about running a website was the ability to read your comments directly on my own platform and reply there, article by article. That is now back.

I have added comments, replies, and likes across the site, so you can now interact directly on each article and even on tool pages. You can leave a comment, reply to someone else, or simply like a post if you enjoyed it.

I also added a small share feature. You can now open a preview of what you are about to share and quickly copy the link if you want to send it to your own audience. It is a small addition, but one that makes sharing much easier.

What makes me especially happy about all of this is that it brings the conversation back onto the website itself. I have always liked the idea of not only publishing things there, but also being able to actually continue the discussion in the same place.

To make sign-in simple, I added two login options. The first is Google login, since it is familiar and easy for most people. The second is an email magic link option. With that one, you just enter your email address, receive a link in your inbox, click it, and you are automatically logged in.

I also added basic profile management. Once you have an account, you can update your username and upload an avatar image. This should make it easier if you want a bit more privacy, or if you would rather stay consistent with the same username you use on Substack or other platforms.

I am really excited to have these features in place. More than anything, I am looking forward to reading your comments again and continuing those exchanges directly on the site.

If you run into any issues signing up or logging in, please let me know. Quick feedback will help me improve things faster.

And as always, if there are other features you would like to see, or specific articles you would want me to write, tell me. I would be happy to explore that.

Thanks for reading, cheers!
