I have little interest in maintaining a custom build of anything. For example, this blog is managed using Kirby. I had to make all the templates myself so that it works the way I like. Now, I barely remember how anything works and heaven help me if I need to fix or change something. Maybe I'll just use it until it breaks.

I'm this close to liking Kirby for the daily blog. I like how it works, and I don't mind using the panel for composing. What I don't like is managing the site vs the content. Everything feels intertwingled so that it's not just a matter of syncing ./site vs /content. For example, one shouldn't sync ./site/cache or ./site/accounts but should sync ./site/blueprints, etc. I post directly to the server via the panel, so that means I don't have recent content locally. I have a justfile that works around this, but it feels too fragile. For now I'm leaving things alone and ignoring the icky feeling it gives me. One day something will break and I'll have no clue how to fix it. That'll be fun.
