TODO:

fix CI for gitlab vs. netlify
create a preview workflow for deployed content, not just hugo server (netlify git branch support or deploy preview feature - gitlab equiv?)
rss setup properly?
[-] site search (via Google) ~~broken: fix~~ [fixed but still consider] or do differently, static… at least look at css integration similar to google powered search at https://stiobhart.net
analytics
base url for netlify deploy vs config.toml

Disqus fix - “unable to load” (also, improve js variable use so comment threads don’t proliferate across gitlab/selfserve/netlify, and http vs. https URL variants
- issue was a relative url for the disqus_url js variable. Base url being set fully would fix it, but doesn’t fix deployment under multiple sites causing independent threads, so need to consider best way to fully fix - for now, baseURL is set and the main site is good, plus gitlab version still seems to pull from same comment threads, so maybe a non issue.
[-] check netlify cms progress
- looked at their linked demo - looks early still, but maybe it doesn’t reflect their actual progress
integrate, eval prose.io
keep researching and trying 100% client side edit/cms type options

create a tag footer display like category footer
[-] check font, try options
- Is the same font as used in the HTML5UP theme - the color is full black whereas the base theme was grayer. Have some other fonts to try still.
continue fixing remaining URL assumption issues
category/tag - the age old do I need both? Nesting? Kind of would like a category landing page with a templated description
series in taxonomy to create ordered groups of related posts
whitespace/margins around list items - seems a little excessive to me. Would like to see them closer together [update: theme whitespace tweaked - will see how this feels for a while]
post ordering - isn’t sorting by date / reverse date, maybe mod time on file timestamp?
links in the theme seem to break out of https -> http.
- it’s doing what it’s told - consider using RelPermalink instead of Permalink, etc.?

post scheduling and ordering and the whole concept. Truth is, I don’t care very much about the blog aspect, so much as the wiki/collected, linked thoughts aspect. The blog part is little more than a recent changes callout type feature to me. That said, the more ephemeral and random thoughts type stuff definitely fits in more of a blog format.
