Hi.

I largely write for the sake of writing, but I hope and take comfort in knowing that sometimes that helps others. For the last couple years though, writing has been a real struggle. I hope aolium will help me. I don't intend it to replace my blog, but I do hope to supplement it with some shorter form content and links - things that might have belonged on Twitter and Reddit before they became what they are.

This is also a technology playground for me. I've been a lot of Zig lately, and I wanted to dogfood it. Aolium is largely open source and is powered by a number of my libraries, such a http.zig, log.zig and cache.zig.

Post Feed

Use www.aolium.com/$USER.json or www.aolium.com/$USER.xml to get a JSON or Atom feed.

The .json feed accepts two booleans: html and full, both default to true. When html=false the raw text will be returned (else, we'll try to convert markdown to HTML). When full=false the text for long type posts will be excluded. For pages that display a list of posts, such are aolium's own post list, excluding this field is more efficient.

The .xml feed accepts the html boolean, which defaults to true.

Examples
