By the way, Firefox on Mac does not recognize your TLS certificate as valid.

huh, this doesn't look awful. I've been thinking about starting a fancier blog but I hate all blog software too. So I just write html files but that's a moderate pain so I was going to write my own and just haven't gotten around to it.

Anyway, I might try this. (and i might not, NIH and all. :D )

Yeah, I am aware of that issue, need to embed signature chains of my CA (from other CA) into certificate as it is not that commonly installed by default. Will address ASAP.

https://blog.dicebot.lv/posts.rss
https://github.com/Dicebot/mood/blob/master/source/mood/rendering/rss.d

But I don't think it actually works yet - haven't even tested it with any RSS client. Just quick proof of concept.

With third party Javascript comments system and image upload will be perfect.

Why need third party / javascript for a comment system? The vibe-d forums have a (quite nice I think) forum and as far as I know, no js.

Nice work! Load times are excellent.

I've been meaning to do something like this for ages, never got the time.
I'll just use this now. How open to pull requests / alterations are you? I might try to do up a comment system for it.
