Announcing the Photofeed
I’ve added a new feature to this website: the Photofeed.
The Photofeed is a place for me to post pictures from my life and travels, accompanied by short captions. It’s sort of like a basic Instagram page. I’ve set the tone already: the first two posts are about food and the weather.

Usually, I have to use a computer to update this website. It runs on Hugo, and updating it involves Visual Studio Code and some terminal commands. It’s not a convenient workflow, but it’s been fun to tinker with and learn from. Still, I wanted some ability to update the site from my phone, in case I want to express myself while I’m out of the house or on vacation. I settled on the idea of a feed of photos, separate from the main feed of written content, that I can treat as a visual life log.
I vibecoded the Photofeed using Claude Opus 4.6. I interact with it using an iOS Shortcut on my home screen, which asks for an image from my camera roll and gives me a text box to write the caption. It sends the photo and caption to a Cloudflare Worker, which builds them into a Photofeed page and commits it to GitHub, which triggers Cloudflare to redeploy the website from that commit.
