#weeknotes for your Wednesday. small link dump but lots of little things

starting a weekly "now" list of things i'm doing for self accountability reasons using leaflet. experimenting with lowest barrier of entry, but i also have a bookmark in there of more blog tools i will be trying in the coming weeks

poking around for some open source blogging tools and looking for some recs! would love rss capability and cms not required. any plugins for other tools (obsidian, notion etc) would also be a bonus!
