I recently started with a personal website [1]. I wanted to dive into static site generators and used Zola[2] in the end. At this time I only published a few blog articles, but at least I started somewhere.

As my personal knowledge base I love to use Joplin[3]. I wanted to write my blog post with Joplin, too! I wrote a small script to generate the blog articles from Joplin notes and wrote about this in my first blog post [4].

I also plan to have some kind of linkage site. The biggest problem is to revised my large bookmark collection and pick out the best ones. I probably should just begin with new cool stuff I stumble upon. Secondly, I would like to have some kind of feedback system (comments, activitypub, ...) but without any (or at least too much) server side code and without using some external provider.

Btw, the site is also available fully decentralized via dat. Yeahh.

Btw, you might be interested to know that if you activate the Web Clipper service, you can interact with Joplin's REST API on port 41184. I have been using a hairy mess of shell scripts to achieve similar functionality (Joplin-as-CMS).

I'll have to clean it up and put it on GitHub this weekend!

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I didn't knew that Joplin has an API. Currently I am parsing the yaml files directly. Using the API could be an alternative, especially when I want to re-enable the encryption.
