This is the kind of stuff you read on 4chan as memes about orange site. While going through all that you decided to create a website of all things and update it by hand editing html. Normal people, and I hate saying that, would create a facebook/WhatsApp group or something like that. I'm not making fun of you or anything, not everyone has the same lives, I'm just amazed by the hn crowd.

I mean even if you are going to make a self-hosted site for this, like, there's software you can use where you're not using raw html. I use a static site generator that takes markdown. I don't find markdown too hard to write on mobile, as long as I don't need images.

I was about to comment that using an LLM to update a static site can be seen as overkill like using napalm bombing against mosquitoes,

and you post about those considering odd to have your own services to publish basic information...

> amazed by the hn crowd ... [whereas] Normal people...

I have seen members of the "madding crowd" amazed by people reading a book. And not one: many, in different increasingly bewildering capacities. (Including "law enforcement", calling it "suspicious behaviour".)

Be careful of what can be called "normalcy" nowadays.

I'm not disagreeing with you. This was a very bad idea.

But I was a few hours away from becoming a parent, hadn't slept much in days, and was not thinking very well.

Sub-optimal decisions were made.

Congratulations on parenthood. I thought the decision was very much overkill myself, but it's impressive you had the determination and skill to execute it while in the state you describe. I doubt I would be able to.
