It’s been a while since I last updated TextTap. As a utility app, I couldn’t think of any features that I could add. It serves my use case very well.

This 1.4 update introduces improvements in the following areas:

• Performance (better query) and reduced app size
• Enhanced VoiceOver support

Developers love to talk about their blog setup as their first post. This one is no exception too. Hopefully it won’t also follow the unfortunate tradition of dying after the first post.

I set up this blog using Zola as the static site generator (SSG). It’s fast and only a single binary (written in Rust btw). What’s not to like?

For hosting, I went with Cloudflare Pages. I always wanted to learn how to use Cloudflare, so this blog is a good reason to.

For the theme, I ported over the default Octopress theme. It was the theme of the first website I ever deployed, so it felt fitting to bring it back. Here’s the link to the theme repository if you’re interested in using it.

Like how things work these days, the entire blog setup and Octopress theme replication is done by using AI. I’m using GPT-5.4 with medium reasoning to accomplish this. If you’re interested in using it, here’s the link to the theme repository. I’ve made some adjustments to make it compatible with Zola.

Anyway, the blog is finally up and running. Let’s see if I can make it to the second post.
