Mostly housekeeping

Today has been mostly housekeeping. I wasn’t entirely happy with how the featured images were looking across the blog, so I’ve updated the lot to give everything a cleaner, more consistent feel.

Next up, I’m in the early stages of reviewing Neo. It’s been on my to-do list for quite a while now, and I hope you’ll find it an interesting read once it’s ready. If you’ve taken Neo for a spin recently, or even in the past, I’d love to hear how you got on with it.

Working on the recent mailcow and Stalwart reviews was genuinely enjoyable. There’s something deeply satisfying about installing a service via the command line and watching it just work on the first try.

On the site front, visitor numbers have doubled over the past fortnight, and the bounce rate continues to drop week on week. It’s a good reminder of just how worthwhile it is to revisit older posts and give them a proper refresh.

Meanwhile, my Cloudflare-hosted mail app is almost ready for beta testing. If you fancy taking it for a spin and trying your best to break it, your feedback would be hugely appreciated. As a small thank you, anyone helping out will go straight to the front of the queue for a free copy at launch.

Once the mail app is out in the wild, the next undertaking will be a lightweight website and blogging platform designed to run directly on Cloudflare Workers. Picture something akin to Ghost, but free, fast and feature-rich, and you’ll have a fair idea of what I’m building.

Until next time,

Stay safe
