09:09:00 +07:00 Interleaved Redesign - The more I write blog posts now that the everything feed is operational, the more it's becoming obvious how important the interleaved redesign is going to be. I highlighted previously some of the annoyances from the perspective of writing. It's really apparent to me now.

It's somewhat difficult to estimate the complexity of the move. It seems like it could be considerable, on the other hand if I were starting from scratch, I'd be quite confident because the static site generator is very flexible at this point.

What I'm considering at the minute is whether it might be worth collapsing all the seperate calendar structures into a single day based calendar structure. It's really appealing to have all of a day's content in the same folder. The big downside is not being able to easily find stuff. I won't at a glance of the filesystem be able for example to see all the blog post markdown files.

But maybe there is a way. I have ish installed so perhaps with some basic shell aliases I can get the view back that I'd lose, or something similar.

It's no longer clear cut whether to write a blog post or a note. Each has serious downsides, so you end up not being able to write anything. The current status qui just promotes stuckness.

One thing is clear, the quicker I can move away from the latest page format the better. #
