Stellar Web Discoveries Link_Log Digest #1 | June 29th, 2025

June 29, 2025

↗

Thought I might see if a semi-regular Blog post, with the most recent Links & Bookmarks that I’ve saved, might be of interest.

Whilst having a dedicated Link_Log Page is handy, the larger the list grows, the more there is to sift through.

So a more compact and manageable ‘digest’ will give the links a bit more breathing space, and of course additional exposure.

You can also access all existing, and new, saved Links and Bookmarks, via the following Bookmarking accounts:

• Raindrop↗

• Linkhut↗

• Pinboard↗

• Instapaper↗

In defense of unpolished personal websites | Ana Rodrigues ↗

For a while now, I’ve been slowing working on a refactor of the codebase of this blog.
