**tl;dr:**
I use [zine-ssg](https://zine-ssg.io) to statically build my homepage after every change. I intend to extend it with automated fetching of [bookmarks](/bookmarks).
**The long version:**
Not too long ago, .ing <spantitle="Top Level Domain">TLDs</span> became available, that allowed me to finally have my full name as a "cool" domain name: `koehr.ing`. Other domains I have are `nkoehring.de` (boring), `koehr.in` (confusing) and `k0r.in` (nerdy). `koehri.ng` wouldn't be possible due to domain registars policies or pricing (Nigeria used to have the british model, like allowing only net.ng, com.ng, and so on. Later they allowed more, but the price would be pretty high).

Later they allowed more, but the price would be pretty high).
Why am I writing all this? Because the new domain name made me think about my homepage as a professional. I wanted to have something, that showcases my skills while not being the usual boring homepage. This is how [the interactive homepage experiment](https://cli.koehr.ing) began; a terminal like website, written from scratch. Having this, I now also needed to change my old homepage to somehow feature my new shiny experiment. But my old homepage is white and not very responsive; two very good reasons (for me), to change it. So I also started writing a completely new homepage, using [vss](https://github.com/vssio/vss). Pretty soon I realised, it is by far not mature enough for my needs, so I started building workarounds to suit my needs, so I don't get stuck in the rabbit hole of choosing frameworks over finishing the page. My plan is, to finish the page and its content and then, when there is time, move it on top of something more sophisticated, like good ol' [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/).
