I've been busy! There's a big batch of improvements landing in PADD today. It touches pretty much every part of the app so I'm writing this post to walk y'all through it. First though, I want to give a disclaimer: I'm building this stuff primarily for myself (not you, sorry). I want a good way to quickly post to my own site and read the blogs I care about. PADD is my attempt at that. If it turns out to be useful to other people, that's great. If not? Well, then at least I have a reader I like...

I'm going to Homebrew Website Club Pacific in about 30 minutes. By the time you're reading this it will already be over though.

But Aaaron, how will we know you didn't just write this all after the fact to make yourself look good? Honestly, if this post ends up being anything but slighly cringe I'll be shocked. Nevertheless, here I sit to write. How will it...

I've been working on PADD publicly for about a week now. Before that I was hacking on the individual parts (indieauth, micropub, etc.) but I was finally able to put them together in a fun UI and reading from a Microsub server. It was something I threw together while waiting for the results of medical tests on my partner. Something I did to take my mind off the stress. It's quickly become one of my favorite projects!
