jawhar's Issues

draft tag

add draft tag to posts and dont show ones marked as such

search

allow people to save posts

• to local storage

tags filter in post list view

Common header/footer per user

allow user to somehow specify header/footer sections

allow specifying themes in config file

add themes

• sidebar
• bottom nav

make good

• rebuild without api (scrape)
• common header, footer
• remove nest
• rebuild frontend with analogjs maybe something else

optimize images on the server before returning

rss

scrape data on the server instead of using github api

• is this a viable option?
• having to login to view a blog is dumb

comments on gists

show comments on gists (and possibly allow commenting on them). not sure if this is doable
