Home page, pagination should all work. +- Write the markdown parser from scratch, no libraries, and convert it to html that looks as bad as https://juniordeveloperdiaries does +- Actual CI/CD, not to the level of Netlify, but good enough. I never use the preview feature for Netlify anyways. +- Get real analytics, I don't want to pay $14/month or whatever it is for Netlify, and google analytics is particularly poorly suited for a community where 90% of the users probably have a tracking/ad-blocker.
