The Known Experiment

2 min read

So I've recently started migrating all my blog posts over to a self hosted Known. Writefreely was fantastic for what it was, and in some ways this is a downgrade, but Known is closer to what I want in a personal publishing platform. I want to have a single place for all my long form articles, status updates, photos, and links I want to share. And I want to be able to import all my old posts from past mastodon and pixelfed instances as status updates and photos, respectively.

Known isn't quite there. Development doesn't have a lot of velocity. But it's written in languages I know well and uses tools I'm familiar with. I'm pretty confident I can start to fill in the gap by making plugins, and who knows, maybe even contributing to the main project.

So here goes, all my stuff is slowly going to start redirecting here. I'll be setting up webhooks to cross post things I put here elsewhere (POSSE). I'll have more info to share on that as I set it up.

But before I do all that, I'll be making my very own theme, and ideally this wont just look like every other fucking website in 2024.
