MkDocs Live Edit Plugin Announcement

less than 1 minute read

pypi

I just can’t seem to stop myself from making more MkDocs plugins. This time, it’s a plugin that can help with editing by allowing you to edit your Markdown files straight from the browser:

Install the package by using pip:

pip install mkdocs-live-edit-plugin

This makes it easier to make small changes to wiki pages without constantly having to Alt+Tab back and forth. I have some more ideas to extend this plugin’s capabilities such as creating new pages and moving pages, but that’ll have to wait for a future version. For now, if you end up using it, I’m interested to know what you think about it.

You can get your own copy of the plugin right here.

For years, I’ve hosted my instance on AWS, but with the change to their public IP address pricing, it doesn’t make sense to stay with them since DigitalOcean offers a beefier solution at a lower monthly cost.

Creating and Publishing a Bluesky Feed

Bluesky terminal feed output

I was recently invited to join Bluesky, a new social media platform. This was mostly motivated by the nightmare that Twitter has become over the past year or so. One of Bluesky’s nice features is the encouragement from the official team to build supplementary software. One way to do it is to build a custom feed. So, I set out to do just that: I built a feed that serves all posts related to TTRPGs on Bluesky. Here’s how I went about publishing mine on a DigitalOcean droplet using PM2, Nginx, and Let’s Encrypt.
