Bluesky Embedding Support?
Hello, I'm an avid Blot user. I currently find the Twitter/X post embedding feature very useful for my writing on Blot. As I've recently started using Bluesky alongside Twitter, I was wondering if it would be possible to add support for embedding Bluesky posts, similar to how Twitter posts can be embedded. Given the steady growth in Bluesky's user base, I believe adding Bluesky post embedding functionality would be beneficial for many users. I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider this feature request. Thank you for your time.
Rearranging Site Pages?
On the old Blot.im site it was easy to rearrange the order of our website's pages as they appeared at the top of our template. I'm struggling to find out where/how to do this on the new Blot.im site. Any help appreciated
Issue editing site menu?
I see to edit the menu it's not under editing your template the website. However the section does not seem to be usable in the browser. Everything is all over the place and it's hard to click things because of odd alignments. Is there a way to edit menus when just editing a template locally?
Incoming links from Medium rendering source files?
I created an "About" page on Medium (https://medium.com/@lev.lc/about) with several inline links back to my Blot site notes. However, I noticed that all the links render as .md files, including the landing page of my site, which has never happened before. Is this a feature of how Medium handles outbound links, or is it a feature of Blot? I notice that medium adds ?source=parameters to the links... Has anyone linked to their Blot sites from Medium or perhaps had a similar experience with other platforms?
Three months without support
I'm sorry after three months without support and a broken site, I've decided to cancel the subscription and to try and look for an alternative. It's a pity because I like the unique simplicity of this publishing model—this is how the web should be for ordinary folks. Good luck.
Link format ignores settings?
I can't seem to make Blot use the filename (both {{name}} or {{name-without-extension}}) as default link — it keeps processing the file title. My folder has markdown files with yaml front-matter titles, I wish to use title: for page metadata, but I don't want the longer URLs or filling the parameters for link: for every file. Is this a bug? I tried to reset the folder - it didn't work.
Images not showing?
Everything was working fine with my site but from last txt files, is not showing the images correctly, is showing the titles and date instead, and I don't understand why. This is the site: https://www.appinspo.com/
Empty summary metadata is rendered as the text 'null'?
By default, I include a "Summary:" line in post metadata. I don't always add a Summary, but if I leave it empty it renders {{summary}} as null in the template. I tried adding a conditional like so: {{#summary}}{{summary}}{{/summary}} ...but that still renders as null unless I remove the Summary line from the front matter completely. I'd prefer it if I could leave an empty Summary: value in the post metadata without it rendering as null. Possible?
"/random" stick to the same link
I wonder why does the "/random" link stick to the same page from time to time? Is it just my site or anybody else got the same issue? I can't seem to understand the pattern because many times the page refreshes on each click but at times it gets stuck with one page.
Updated Blog theme has layout errors
(re-writing this as my first attempt was rushed and unclear) Since I last used it, the Blog theme appears to have been amended. The structure and CSS is different to that on another of my older Blot sites. The changes appear to introduce some issue that are consistent across multiple browsers and machines - for example content in the right margin is now positioned off the page and pagination text is positioned top-left over the top of itself. I assume these are theme errors because they're visible on the theme demo site too and differ from the screenshots provided. Has anyone identified the issue (although the HTML structure has changed, it looks like the CSS may be the issue here?) and / or is there a way to get the old theme to use, since the theme is unusable as-is.
