       | I did the same thing on my site, and it was surprisingly easy.
       | The lunr.js indexer can persist its internal index state to JSON,
       | and the search is fast enough to filter results in real time as
       | the user types.

       | This is a really cool list especially because it shows how varied
       | people's aims are. Some people want a certain golden era of
       | Twitter/Foursquare-type social media, but under their own
       | control. Some people want to stretch the format of blogs beyond
       | that of feeds. Some people want to go all-in on feeds and see
       | what they can squeeze out of them. Some people are dicking around
       | with RSS because they just like it. Blogging shouldn't all look
       | like different styles of Wordpress.

         | I thought the same thing. This is a cool list simply by way of
         | the variety on display. It's remarkable how people can organize
         | their thoughts in unique ways, when they aren't held back by
         | the one-size-fits-all layouts of blog themes and social media
         | account pages.

       | That was a really fun list. It made me wonder what I could add on
       | my personal website to make it more personal.
       | 
       | A few years ago, I added achievements. I don't know if anyone
       | ever cared to chase them.

         | You could consider adding something personal to spice it up.
         | With the exception of website comments (which few people bother
         | to leave), blogs are usually a read-only experience.

       | This was a decade ago, but still pains me. Idiot.
