It isn’t very clear. The author says you have to create flexible products (using configuration) but down the line, be more opinionated (using convention). He lost me.

I have been reading a book just 5 pages (some days more) and writing for 136 days without a break. I am super enjoying my journey. Check out https://5pagesaday.com/

It's not a plug to hop you to my site. I sincerely appreciate your feedback. I see a lot of benefits, like I improved my ability to express my views concisely. I am now a lot better at summarising things and packing so much of value in short sentences. I would highly recommend building a habit, like reading and writing.

My site https://5pagesaday.com/ is showing Cookie “_ga” has “sameSite” policy set to “lax” because it is missing a “sameSite” attribute, and “sameSite=lax” is the default value for this attribute.

How to fix this? Anyone any clue?

Late to the party but never mind. I always wanted to read and write more, but creating such high-value habits are very hard to come by. In this lockdown, I decided to do something about that.

I read five pages from a book that interests me every day and then write about my interpretation.

To build a good reading and writing habit, I built a static blog using JAMStack technologies.

https://5pagesaday.com/

I used Hugo to make a static site and Netlify functions to call Google Book API, Forestry dot io to write my book blurbs every day. I integrated Amazon ads to implement related book recommendations. I use netlify to host and Github actions for CI/CD. It's a PWA out of the box and supports Google AMP.

The cool part is when writing a book experience, I provide the book ISBN, and my netlify function would go and grab book cover gif, description, author name from Google Book API automatically :-)

I am really pleased. I will start reading and writing from the coming Monday.

Wish me luck and follow me to encourage. I will open-source my Hugo theme which I named ”Morning Pages” and my blog on Github later this week. Cheers

Nice interface. What stack did you use to build your site? Any links to your repository, please? Many thanks.

Glad to know. Thanks for your reply. It’s awesome. Really like it.

When we cross the free tier, is it one time fee? Or month by month?

Hi, I registered before and used it. I am a solo developer, will I be able to use the training for free?
