How do you focus on finishing your projects?

I've been trying to get back into most of my side-projects, but always find the initial enthusiasm die out pretty quickly.

How do you fight this and keep at a single project over time?

Using the forem-api for cross-posting

I've been redoing my portfolio/blog/website project using some newer technology. One "advanced" feature I finally got around to adding is the ability for my SSG site to get posts from forem's API.

This in theory allows my site to use dev.to as a "blog post source". However there a number of gaps with this approach. Namely things are not "live", in that any post on dev isn't instantly posted to my own site.

Furthermore, my site is still very bare bones, to the point there are probably issues with how these posts will render, along with overall ugliness.

This will all be worked on over time as I continue with fleshing out features on my site and add more interesting features.

Keep learning, keep growing 👍

Beware its very dusty/half-built and basic!

Weird and interesting places to remote work from?

Due to the increase in opportunities that provide remote work, I was wondering if anyone ever tried to take their remote work and work from somewhere "totally out there", or that would at least standout.

Sure it's safer to work from home, but sometimes it feels nice to go out and go somewhere different, at least to change things up.

I was recently at a local garden and thought about grabbing my laptop and using their free wifi and working from there.

It got me thinking if anyone has tried working remotely, pre-pandemic, or now, from somewhere you'd consider weird or interesting.
