It occured to me that one of the advantages of having gone down the route of having many plugins for my ssg, even though that became a bit of a headache, was that my github actions made very good use of reusable workflows. I spent a bit of time the past few days seing if I could repurpose the same structure to build an social media auto-poster. I’ve made a ton of progress, and have the core primitives working.

In some ways it feels like I am very close to get it working, yet I know from experience that sometimes getting that last 20% working is deceptively much more work than first appears. All that to say, that I am quite happy that is seems like I might have something working soon, but a bit tentative because I know there are likely a lot of small details that need to be figured out. I’ve been here many times before, and I can feel the trauma of past experience holding me back. #
