Testing out Sveltia

I set up Sveltia headless CMS on my page, this is my first post with it.

So I wanted to set up a simple headless CMS for my blog. Setting up Sveltia was rather quick and easy, though configuring it took a while.

I have now set it all up and it was rather painless. The main reason I wanted this, while I mostly edit things in my text editor of choice anyway, I sometimes have something I want to share while out and about. So this is pretty much for mobile usage. :) And especially for sharing photos, since I want to be less and less dependent on social media sites and more use my own blog, since I have one setup after all.

As I write this, the editor area is a bit cramped. The other fields take a lot of space, while I would rather have the editor area to take the full screen. But that might be fixable with some CSS I suppose. Will have to investigate that further.

Also if I want to do galleries, I will have to use some Zola magics that are easier to do in the text editor.

I also have my emote system which needs the Zola tags, so that the generator will handle it properly.

Anyway, setting the thing up was rather simple. I just had to make it talk with Codeberg, plop in a private key that is saved locally in my browser cache and that's that. It's just a simple website that shows editors and your pages, nothing extreme. Works for me rather well. And I appreciate the simplicity of it all, so I can recommend this. Feel free to look at my config I made for my Zola generated site if you're interested: config.yml.

Maybe this will get me blog more, at least on the go. Sharing quick photos and the like, especially during Comiccon Finland next month. :)

Also shout out to Bubbles.town! I have been browsing it a bunch and it's been quite interesting to see what people are up to. I am finding a lot of interesting things over there, and I think blogging is still one of the best ways to share things, more than regular social media sites.

Thanks for reading!
