This is really great!

I wonder if one needs a framework like Hugo, Jekyll, etc. if one only wants to host a personal site without a blog? Is there any advantage compared to starting with one of those bare CSS templates and building a static website that way?

If this were packaged as an iOS App with only minor additions I’m sure it would be very successful, like other ‚slow games‘ (Desert Golf)

I'm surprised VoodooPad [1] does not get mentioned more often when this question gets asked.

It is by far the most straightforward wiki I have used. The two features I rely on most are (i) creating new pages that link back to a piece of text simply by highlighting the text and entering a shortcut and (ii) adding aliases to pages, so that each time either the page name or its aliases are mentioned anywhere in the wiki, a link is automatically created back to the page.

Using these two workflows, pages can fulfil a similar function tags do: If a concept appears again and again across many different pages, I simply create a page which is named after the concept or has the concept as one of its aliases. When I open this new page, I can see all pages that link to it in a panel that lists all back-links. I then go on to edit the page, going into more detail.

This has turned out to be the most organic way for me to write a wiki where editing, linking, and exploring works almost frictionlessly.

What I don't fully understand about calculating carbon footprints is if I buy an iPhone made in China, does that add to the carbon footprint per capita of my country or to China's carbon footprint per capita? If the second were to be true, we would be shaming 'developing' countries for fuelling our own consumption levels.

But there have to be a limit, someone spending their days at home or out shopping is not worth millions or billions of their partner's money

I have a hard time believing anyone's time is "worth millions or billions".

What I find fairly strange in American academia is that professors are addressed by their last name, but students by their first name. In Austria, for example, there is no situation in which you address someone differently than they address you, except for addressing children. It would be very disrespectful for an adult to address another adult by their first name, but insist that they be addressed by their last name, as if you were a child.
