Looking for my threads about magnetic tapes, DIY floppies, typewriter-tty conversion?
Or pixelart or hacks or retro screenshots? I got a page with links there:

ninakalinina.com/links.htm

@nina_kali_nina I never thought about using mastodon thread in this way, I mean create a links web page for it. What you use to build the website? A site generator or write in html?

@xiaopi oh, it's much easier. I write the links in Markdown and then run md2html to generate the html. Just like that: github.com/ninakali/ninakali.g

The whole site is static html. I used to use site generators and such in the past, but writing HTML by hand or just using markdown is much nicer.

@nina_kali_nina Oh, that’s a clever and clean solution, I like the ideal to only store md and html files inside the github io repository.

@xiaopi note that GitHub can convert md files to html by itself - but it adds styles I don't want and javascript, too. I am too lazy to set it up correctly, so I'd rather generate the html myself.

@nina_kali_nina I just create the links page and create it by using pandoc , thanks a lot for sharing your ideal and tell me how to do it. I add a links to your original links page.
