@colinwalker your blog is pretty well done Colin. I have got so many inspirations from it - webmentions display or even post display with navigation. Today view is such a great idea. Regarding no post, I guess a one-liner followed by previous day posts should be a good option.
@amit Thanks Amit 🙌 That means a lot. I think I'm happy with it being the last 5 posts but the design needs a little tweaking. I’ve made a few changes so will see how it looks after midnight.
