            <h2>Sunday mornings</h2>
            <p>Somehow I always end up with tech ideas on Sunday mornings.</p>
			<p>Is it because I am “refreshed” after a Saturday focused on chores and family activities? Or maybe it's the “relaxed” time it takes me to whip up the Sunday breakfast (waffles, pancakes, or crêpes).</p>
			<p>I don't often take much action to follow-up on these ideas. Today is different. Today I am taking notes. Today I am actually doing something else than rambling in my heads. Today it is on paper. (And now digital.)</p>

            <h2>Revived and published</h2>
            <p>I have another project I would like to work on and I though it was a perfect opportunity to finally push the "memos" online.</p>
            <p>Of course plumbing is a pain: I just spent at least a full hour looking at DNS, NS records, static web hosting, and other unwieldy concepts.
                I ended up pushing the static files to <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~docbibi/memos">a repository on SourceHut</a> and using my domain with <a href="https://srht.site/">their hosting</a> for now.</p>
            <p>Now onto how to make it easier for me to publish… (Or should I simply spin-up an instance of <a href="https://microblog.pub">microblog.pub</a>?)</p>

			<h2>A first step to improve "reader mode", <em>a.k.a.</em> metadata</h2>
			<p>I am a big fan of the "reader mode" in Firefox.
			It couples a gentle sepia tone with distraction-free content, great for long pieces of text.</p>
			<p>It turns out that you don't want to forget the basic HTML metadata such as author in the page header.</p>

			<h2>Let's get ready for the future: with tags</h2>
			<p>I already planned for a couple of features for a next version.
			Tags are well recognised in the blogosphere, they are a dynamic free-form of grouping articles together by themes.</p>
			<p>Let's take a sneak peek at what it could look like with the current stylesheet.</p>
			<footer><ul><li><a href="#">#CSS</a></li><li><a href="#">#Prototyping</a></li></ul></footer>

			<h2>Customising <em>pico</em>, a minimal CSS framework for semantics nerds</h2>
			<p>It's not <em>only</em> for nerds but the facts speak for themselves: there is a "classless" version that simply styles all basic HTML tags.
			No additional classes needed.</p>
			<p>Now, I am trying to tweak a few things such as aligning the date-stamp to the right.</p>

			<h2>Exploring (basic) styling</h2>
			<p>I neither want nor need something complicated. Since the idea is to have a <em>minimal</em> engine to publish byte-sized content every now and then, I want to follow suit with the styling and not spend countless hours trying to get it perfect. It has to be simple, <em>and</em> easy to implement. (Wishful thinking!)</p>
			<p>I will certainly look into minimalistic CSS solutions out there. I have almost no skills in that area and <em>I know</em> how painful it is to test and have it right. Been there, done that.</p>

			<h2>Hand-writing an HTML prototype</h2>
			<p>After a decade or two, I am back to hand-crafting an HTML page.</p>
			<p>Today, I am prototyping the very page of this project: a list of memos. (That is so meta.) It turns out bare HTML is still as easy as pie, styling is the real deal.</p>

			<h2>Kick-starting a new project: memos!</h2>
			<p>I like the concept of leaving a log of short entries on a regular basis.</p>
			<p>I am not so good at publishing blog posts frequently, somehow the barrier is too high for me.</p>
			<p>Let's try with a shorter form, and also because it's fun to explore project ideas.</p>
			<p>Stand-alone, short, and sweet entries following the idea of micro-blogging, but why follow the arbitrary limit of 136 characters? I will keep them short but that's because I want to.</p>
