Welcome, Matt!

Thanks for blogging about your experiences, it's really great to see, especially because it was through me you've been interested in it!

I'd heavily recommend https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js/ by https://beesbuzz.biz/ as I currently use it on my site and love it because I don't need to rebuild my site to show new Webmentions, although it does mean that my viewers need client-side Javascript.

If you get a chance, come and talk to us on the IndieWeb chat (more details on https://indieweb.org/discuss )

As an FYI it looks like the issue with minification wasn't due to GZIP but actually the minification of the CSS it does, which would likely replace things like .h-card with a random string

🇵🇹 WebSummit 2019

A great writeup of a huge event - when I went a few years ago I was bowled over by how much time I'd need to spend to see everything I wanted to (hint: it was more than the few days I was there)

Safely Creating And Using Temporary Files

This is a great resource to highlight the difficulty of creating temporary files safely - something I've tried to share before but without these great examples.

Its especially bad if using a shared CI/CD server and putting downloaded files into /tmp as you don't know whether it'll be clobbered / stolen by others on the instance

Although it doesn't help you, Hugo has Archetypes https://gohugo.io/content-management/archetypes/ to set up these repetitive and boring bits of metadata for new content types - it makes a huge difference in getting up and running with your boilerplate 🙃
