Recontextualising my site (2022)
Thu Feb 03 2022tags: public programming
Introduction
The last time I redesigned my website was 2020. I moved from Jekyll to Eleventy and made the site look a bit nicer. Now I want to do a bit more with it: not so much a redesign, but rather a recontextualisation. What do I want my site to be and do?
Full-text search
I want people to be able to discover my website with a Ctrl-K input, something like Notion, or the full text search in Visual Studio Code Ctrl-Shift-F. Ideally they should be able to discover all the tags as well.

This is the kind of search I'm looking for:
https://braindump.jethro.dev/search/?query=food
https://github.com/jethrokuan/braindump I think it's built into his template so he didn't have to implement
https://thesephist.com/posts/monocle/
I really like Monocle, this is almost exactly what I want
Password-protect private posts
Right now, private posts are on the website, but they're just not displayed publicly (you have to have the exact URL). This is OK for now but will obviously become an issue once full-text search is implemented.
I would ideally like to index private posts as well (make them searchable) but password-protect the full text content.
