Hey! Thanks for sharing, and please do keep us updated. It’s good to see the early thought processes and design concepts that go into a project like this. The circular idea is a good one and works from my experience playing with toys like the Orba 2. I bet your samples would work great on that!
The jam submission pages will include a field for providing a link to your development blog as well. Here’s mine: https://shiftbacktick.io/project-ephemera.html
Great question! I’ve been dissatisfied with blogging and site building platforms over the last two decades. The ads, privacy issues, and general limitations are all real concerns.
My site is built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages as a private repository. It’s a custom theme that I built with HTML, CSS, and a bit of Liquid syntax. But there are free themes to chose from as well.
Once set up, the publishing workflow is quick and simple: I write a Markdown file, commit it, and push it. It appears live after a few minutes.
Of course, it’s not the easiest to use, but the complete flexibility is worth the effort for me.
