A small update from yesterday. Viewing the production site on mobile, I noticed that long links found in excerpts could cause content to extend past its container

Pulling Data from WordPress to Remix
To pull in real data from the WordPress site, I need to write a GraphQL query that returns the 5 most recently created posts on the site, and also pulls in up to 5 posts for each of the site’s categories.
A WordPress index page for Remix
In my last post I wrote that authentication was the next item on my list. I’ve changed my mind and am going to create a WordPress index page instead.
Display WordPress Posts on a Remix App
To get things started, I’m going to install the WPGraphQL plugin on this site (https://zalgorithm.com.) I’m not sure if that plugin is intended to be used on WordPress sites that can still be accessed normally, or if it’s only intended to be used on headless WordPress sites. This is low consequence web development. I’ll just test it out and see what happens.
Organic Search
Word of mouth. Leaflets with QR codes. That kind of thing… Social media breaks the relationship between readers and writers – readers aren’t supposed to have an audience.
Add a Header to the Site
I’m asking questions in my posts that I don’t have the answers to. I’d like to find a way to mark a section of text as a question. Maybe create a question custom post type? That could give me a list of questions at zalgorithm.com/questions
Zalgorithm
A kind of algorithm.
Amateur
“Lover of” or “one who loves.”
Adding a Database
In https://zalgorithm.com/hello-remix/ I created a Remix app with npx create-remix@latest. That creates a basic app, but doesn’t configure a database. The app doesn’t need a database but I’m going to set one up for the heck of it.
Platformless
Thinking about how subcultures formed before there was an internet. People still found out about stuff. Maybe the constraints were useful. … wondering about getting artists off Youtube and onto self hosted websites.
