I’ve been working on rebuilding my personal website. I want a system where my writing is stored in plain text/markdown. For my blog posts, this is easy, I make a commit and the site will rebuild with the new article.

The problem comes when I want to also host my own notes (basically my mastodon posts). It can work the same way, but I expect to have vastly more notes that posts. Reading and parsing this many files at runtime just isn’t very efficient.
