./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.

./blog.sh 1.2 is out — the import release.

Eight import sources became twenty-two: every social network you are likely to have posted to, the blog platforms, and the Wayback Machine for blogs whose platform no longer exists.

Setting a site up is a conversation now. So is how it looks, with the candidate palette rendered on your own site before you keep it.

And a screen for walking an archive that got too big to scroll.

./blog.sh 1.1 is out.

Pin a post to the top. Schedule into publishing slots that queue instead of colliding. Attach files as download cards. Rename a slug without breaking a link — the old URL redirects forever. One dialogue for everything you can do to a post.

And deploy guards that measure the build against the build, so a failed upload can't quietly switch them off.

./blog.sh 1.0.1 is out — eighteen fixes, none of them reported by a user.

They came out of an independent verification pass over the release: a failed write could leave a post without a file, one bad post could stop the whole build, a missing media file could delete the copy that was already live.

There's now a CHANGELOG a clone can read, and ./blog.sh version tells you what you're running.

./blog.sh 1.0 is out.

A blog engine that's a folder and a shell script. Ruby stdlib and bash — no database, no gems, no admin. Comments live on the Fediverse. Eight importers, so your Tumblr and Twitter archives have somewhere to go. MIT licensed.

The site you're reading is the engine running itself.
