Welcome to rhys.wtf
rhys.wtf is a small set of web apps. One rhys.wtf account, your profile, signs you in to all of them, and anyone can make one.
Each app is small and does one thing, on its own or alongside the others. There are no adverts and no tracking, and the pages work without JavaScript.
You'll come back here after signing in.

Feed- Living with e-ink
A week reading everything on a Boox. The refresh is slower than you'd like and faster than you'd think; the page that never glows is the point. Feeds read better in black and white. Handwriting is where it shines. Video is a mistake.

The apps
PostsYou're here
A blog made of your notes. Publish a folder in Notes and every page in it is a post on your own page, with its pictures, tags, a feed and a thread of comments. Drafts and private pages stay yours until you say.
Profiles
Your rhys.wtf account. Choose a handle, sign in with a passkey or a password, and every app here knows you. It's also your public profile: a picture, a short bio and any OpenPGP keys you publish.
Feeds
A feed reader for RSS, Atom and JSON Feed. Follow a site by its address, sort what you follow into categories and read what's new in one list, with stars, search, and OPML import and export. An entry can be saved to Links in a click, and a feed can become a daily summary in Dailies.
Dailies
The things that arrive once a day, in one place: security reports, news briefs, digests of a few feeds. Today's editions show as cards, and older ones are kept day by day. Publish your own from a script with a token, or let Dailies make a digest of up to 20 feeds for you.
Diagrams
Sketch and diagram in the browser, with a graphics tablet or a mouse, on as many pages as you need, and every diagram is kept. A viewing code lets anyone watch you draw, live, without an account, and a diagram you make public goes on your own wall.
Files
Everything the rhys.wtf apps keep for you, as folders in one place: your diagrams, your links by tag and your notes, beside a space for files of your own. Upload files, sort them into folders, and share one with a link.
Links
Keep the links worth keeping. Tag them as you like instead of filing them, find them again by any word in them, and see each one's picture and description, fetched once when you save it. Bookmarks from a browser or from Linkwarden import as they are.
Notes
Your notes as plain Markdown files in folders, linked to each other with [[wiki links]] and tagged with #tags. Every page keeps its history, search finds any word, and today's daily note is a click away.
Dashboards
Start pages of your own, made of widgets: what's new in your feeds, links, files, diagrams and notes, replies to your comments, whether your sites are up and who's live on Kick, YouTube and Twitch. Add your servers' load and disks, a calendar from CalDAV or iCal, and the Met Office forecast for your places.
Comments puts discussion threads under public diagrams in Diagrams, under posts in Posts and under entries in Feeds, with the same account.
