• Ask HN: Share Your Personal Site

  Https://xenodium.com All posts are written to a giant org file. https://github.com/xenodium/xenodium.github.io/blob/master/index.org This wasn’t by design but more accidental. The file started as my notes, and eventually exported it to html as a single page (using built-in export). That page grew too large over time, so I wrote some custom elisp code to split into multiple html pages served by GitHub pages:... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
