If you are a newbie:

Hello there! Didn’t expect that you would find such a quiet corner in today’s internet. But welcome, for sure.

I am a blogger, this site is a self-constructed backup for all my content. You could visit the same thing with a prettier UI at my Substack. I read inspiring books and record my reading notes, sometimes also post some random thoughts. And if you feel like this doesn’t look like a literature blog, but more like a tech journal — you got a point, I built this website from source code, not a common choice for my type. But it is not that savvy, try to search about Jekyll the static website generator if you’re interested in. If you got any thoughts about my blog or generally anything about me, contact me with the email button at the sidebar, or leave a comment under any post you like! Just you would need a GitHub account to do that.

Enjoy your exploration!

If you already know me:

Just some yapping: Finally, I switched back to the most starting approach to build a back up blog site.

Basically this is just a place you will find all blogs. In the minimalist style, that is to say - no image, styled with markdown - you can download or copy and paste to anywhere you want. And the best part for me, categorized and tagged. This theme even offers a category system that I can create nested floder. It’s a pleasure to see things organized in a style I want them to be. And easy maintenance for this approach. Just the minimal markdown text, and the generator will take care of everything. (yes, with other approach like Blogger, they provider an editor, but the experience is too bad)

So you should see what this website is all about. It’s straghit forward, most posts should just be the same as my Substack newsletter, except two differences: 1. Some short contents that I just posted as notes will be collected if I think they worth, so this back up site will be the most complete reservoir of my blog; 2. As it is supposed to be, posts in here will contain no image, only text, it should work well across any tools that support markdown syntax (even if not, just plain text editor can do the job too). As you could see from the side bar, you can retrieve my posts in various ways: 1. “archives” is where everything be listed in time sequence; 2. “categories” is my favourite, where you will find the nested structure of different catrgories, and easily retrieve all the posts under any one of them; 3. “tags” will show you all tags I’ve used so far and allow you to retrieve all the posts that contains a selected tag.

Thanks for your reading! Enjoy.

    • Notice that, the most difference between subscribe to this website by RSS and subscribe to my newsletter on that platform called Substack, is that I send my newsletter once per week, likely on the weekend; but I post my writings to this site whenever they are finished - and I constantly keep about 20 drafts as a buffer between my random productivity rate and a decent updating rate.
