Resizing Images

• TODO: Re-size images in the repo, and pre-commit check to ensure I don't commit large files

An image re-size pipeline is setup in config.toml, to constrain output images to 800px in width. Images in blog posts utilize it by adding ?resize=blogImages. I use this for all images today, but a better solution would be to permanently resize the images I don't care about large sizes on (inline blog posts).

blog2's Issues

Setup Books reviews list

• use frontmatter plus empty post to add to list without a post
• if content present, include in content

Hack on Typography

Finish image resize script

• list images over X limit
• check script + precommit to prevent committing large images by accident
• --resize 800 to resize to a max width, height, or size

Can use the https://github.com/disintegration/imaging library

Setup domain name

Setup front page images

Like on Notion or Medium pages, at the top. Maybe toy with Generative AI for these

Setup meta (description) and social link stuffs
