Personal Site

grant.codes has been running since IndieWebCampUK 2014 it was originally built with transmat.io but has now moved to a fully custom built node.js solution.

It supports quite a few interesting features:

• Location Tracking - I use Owntracks to automatically track my location and save the locations to my site. You can see everywhere I've been at grant.codes/maps
• Journaling - I create private posts as a journal. They are just micropub posts with certain categories. There is then a hidden ui to view them when logged in. I have a daily notification on my phone to write a quick journal (almost) every day
• Timeline - An infinite timeline of all my public activity grant.codes/timeline
• CLI Interface - There is a CLI interface for managing certain parts of the backend such as authenticating with silos and basic management of posts.
