./blog.sh 1.2.1

./blog.sh 1.2.1 is out.

A phone records where you were standing in every photo it takes. Social networks strip that on upload; a static site has nobody to do it. Now the engine does, on the way into the archive — and the doctor will clean the ones you saved before.

The bio, the footer, and the banner's claim are now Markdown. They were the only texts on a Markdown blog that had to be HTML.

Your camera writes down where you were

Take a photo on a phone and it records the spot you stood on. Not as a guess — as coordinates, accurate to a few metres, in a block of metadata that travels with the file wherever it goes.

Social networks strip that on upload. They have done it for years, quietly enough that most people have stopped thinking about it. A static site has nobody to do it: blog.sh copied your photo into the archive byte for byte, and nothing in the engine had ever looked at metadata at all. So a picture of a cat on a windowsill published the windowsill.

From 1.2.1 it doesn't. A photo loses its location on the way into the archive — when you add it to a post, and equally when it arrives through any of the twenty-two importers, because they all end up in the same write.

Only the location

The camera, the lens, the exposure, the moment the shutter opened: those stay. They are your own record of your own photograph, and an archive that silently threw them away would be answering a question nobody asked.
