Why I created a migration or changelog page on my website?
In short: it shows to other educators that want to build a similar website what it takes, without having to write an article for each tiny change. It's a gratitude exercice and it shows it's still all a work in progress.
A few days ago I created a new page on this website with a changelog of what's happening with the migration from Podia to Ghost. Why did I create this page?
Backstage transparency for other educators
I have this backstage blog where I share how the sauce is made for other educators or other people who want to also build a website like this one. By creating a changelog page it helps me to keep a trace of the small tweaks and changes that I'm making that don't deserve their own blog article but that still are relevant to see in a timeline. Because all these tiny changes show what it took to get here.
Gratitude for past efforts
As most humans, I'm quick to forget all the cool stuff I've made, and forget to be thankful about it. This migration page is in a way another exercice in gratitude, just like my newsletter is also a weekly gratitude exercice in some way.
Honesty about what's still broken
The migration page is also a nice place to show that this is still all a work in progress and let's people see where there is still a shitload of work.
This article was written on a refurbished Remarkable II tablet with a type folio cover. The illustration was made drawn by hand on the same tablet.
