Utility tool to help migration from Gatsby to Micro.blog

I wrote a little tool yesterday to help me normalize my markdown files from the Gatsby site to be able to import them into Micro.blog properly. Especially I wanted to have redirects setup automatically for all the old posts. My site had simple slugs like holgerfrohloff.de/power-laws. Micro.blog sets up the posts using the dates => https://holgerfrohloff.de/2019/03/01/power-laws.html

For that to work, I needed to have the permalink added to the frontmatter. That wasn’t the case for the majority of posts. I didn’t want to change this manually, so I wrote a script thingy to do it for me. https://github.com/5minpause/postsnormalizer

So maybe this could be helpful if you want to migrate a GatsbyJS site to Micro.blog. /cc @manton

After four days of drinking regular coffee the new espresso beans finally arrived. Iโ€™m surprised to see that the packaging doesnโ€™t have the little valve anymore. Maybe this is for saving on packaging reasons? I donโ€™t know. ๏ฟผ

Finally made the migration

I finally made the migration to micro.blog with my personal site https://holgerfrohloff.de All the posts and newsletters I’ve written are migrated. They are still being published so they are not styled, yet. Have to migrate all pages as well. And then the overal design of the site. I want it to look a little bit different and also showcase some of the functionality that microblog offers me now. Overall I am happy to be even more part of the IndieWeb now.

Dear @heymichellemac@pkm.social is there an RSS feed for your website/articles? I couldn’t find one.

Oh I am beyond happy! My copy of The new Walden by Steelbrothers just arrived. Letโ€™s put this on my MB bookshelf!

Moin. Erste Meeting des Tages ist fertig. Jetzt Fokuszeit!

Back to using Firefox as a default browser! My brief stint with Arc is over. I liked it for the split view feature. I disliked it for disappearing tabs, confusing bookmarking functionality, too much visual distance (read ux) between active tabs and missing compartmentalization.

Last week on Hacker Newsletter I found this article about a better way to use your function keys on Mac. I am on the third day trying this out and probably it will stick. I really like to get used to this.

Since around three weeks I transfer one todo to each next day. Somehow don’t take the time to do it, but would be great to actually tick it off. Maybe I am scared to start work on it. The todo?
