I wrote a little system called upvoters in Rust to handle anonymous upvotes, and it’s compatible with Hugo! In fact, you should see a little chevron at the bottom of this post to upvote if you like it. Check it out if you need something like it! I’ve been working on some website refactors/design changes lately. My taste has been influenced recently. I may at some point write something about my taste evolution. The tl;dr for that article is that I came across an article on Armin Ronacher’s blog and was hugely affected. I’ve been trying to use my little piece of internet land to serve an aesthetic, technical, and minimal blog and his site is what I wish mine was.
