Set default metadata for blog posts in Tina CMS

It would be nice to set default metadata like pub date automatically set to today, and draft is auto set to true. Also, there are some required fields that should be optional, like tags.

Add an about me page

Add reading time to posts

Related issue: #20

Resources: https://docs.astro.build/en/recipes/reading-time/

Add a media workflow with tina

Get this repo ready for public release

Explore Tina CMS

Add webmentions for posts

https://webmention.io/
https://brid.gy/

I need to check the load time to fetch comments - this could most likely be done as an async/background script.

Add table of contents to posts

Evolution of blog v2

Goal: Keep design largely the same, but make writing and publishing posts easier. Including the use of mixed media

New Astro features

• Any new features I should use?

Easier asset management

Would be nice to host images elsewhere

Pain points:

• Images added to a blog post also need to be added to the repo and then referenced correctly.
• Images are currently stored in Github (src/assets)

Automated publishing workflow

Could use: https://tina.io/docs/frameworks/astro/

Pain points

• Writing in obsidian is a nice writing experience. But the content folder is a private sub repo. No automation when saving an obsidian post to when I publish it.
• What I see when writing a post does not look like what I see live. I need to check live previews which takes time.
• Extra hops if I want to do grammar or prose checking. I need to copy and paste it into ChatGPT and then refactor. It would be nice to have a browser extension to do it for me. Like LanguageTool
• I can write posts across devices but because publishing is manual the easiest way to publish is through my computer. Would be nice to write anywhere.

Feature requests

• Make posts searchable
• Ability to have certain posts link to each other (e.g. Part 1 of 4 in tutorial x).
• I'd like to add cover images and more visual assets (like videos) to posts.
• Easier ways to share my post? (not the highest priority)
• Read minute length on posts
• Table of contents on a post

QOL

• I want to do an accessibility audit
• Check for any google indexing issues

Add copy to clipboard

Work on redesigning the look and feel of the homepage

Update README with Tina cms notes

Get tags working

Or maybe call it categories?

Add a changelog page

Pull in mux video assets

Maybe add a now page

Like Maggie Appleton

Style the site

Add cover images to blog post

Tina has issue creating new posts

I see this error when I create a new post

Automate open graph images

https://www.zachleat.com/web/automatic-opengraph/

Low priority for now. But if I start to see people sharing my posts then I should fix this.
