Yes, recommendations and blogroll support will be baked into Tiny Theme.
@Mtt curious if you are considering a sidebar? I haven't had a sidebar for over a decade, but this blogroll thing has me wondering about it.
@jthingelstad I have considered it, but I keep going back and forth. Sidebars are typically only visible on desktop. If they are visible on mobile, they get moved way down, between the content and the footer.
