> The problem with these kind of wearables today is this is just not very actionable.

I got the ultra 2 from Costco in the window of time where it still had the active o2 sensor.

It told me I probably had sleep apnea and to bring a print out of its chart to my primary care physician. That became a referral to an ENT and that became a referral for a sleep study. Turns out I had sleep apnea.

What was really surprising to me -- I was the first person both my primary doctor and the ENT saw who showed up with "my apple watch said I might have sleep apnea."

I've had a CPAP for about 10 months now and it's dramatically improved my sleep.

I've been working on https://blogdb.org/ recently.

I originally made it a couple of years ago as a small proof of concept. A couple of weeks ago I started it over and have been using it as a project to work with Claude and learn approaches to coding with AI.

It's been a lot of fun.

Thank you for saying so!

That's super awesome too, this is not so different under the hood, I used libxml for getting the content and pandoc for converting -- pandoc turned out to be by far the best of the tools I tried for that aspect.

It won't necessarily keep the URLs stable, they'll be made based on the title of the post.

That's a cool solution for the ?p=<id> issues, this doesn't handle it but when I've done it for for sites I host I usually use nginx's rewrite rules. I think for query rewriting you need to additionally use the map directive, but I was only handling directory vs .html and things like that.

Thank you again for commenting, I like your site!

I totally agree. This came about because of a pretty expensive quote the person I was talking to got.

In my case, at least a big part of it is I'm looking for a job again and doing something like this to get myself out there, I already had one person who was interested in this specific type of conversion so maybe there are others.

Thanks for the 413 note! I've just upped the client_max_body_size if you want to give it a try again.

You're right, Hugo is for static sites! Hugo does support comments through things like Disqus (https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/).

My service only converts the blog posts and pages themself and helps you get started on a conversion.

I’ve been working on building a web hosting platform.

https://github.com/symkat/MyJekyllBlog - It’s centered around hosting Jekyll blogs. It supports having paid user accounts (Stripe), building sites (uses podman containers), deploying built sites to web servers, obtaining SSL certificates for the sites it hosts.

It’s been really fun to work on.
