Let's get the calendar done for the blog, along with a "top"/"first" link
I've got plenty of space left and right of the title/controls, so I can easily put more controls there. I want a first/last, and I like the idea of a calendar, although that might need to hide behind a drop-down.
The other fix to do is for the latest/last seen tags. Instead of two (one ::before and one ::after) and some messing about with positioning, I want one ::before, and then latest/last seen can set content (with a .latest.lastseen combined selector for when the entry is tagged with both.
Except that won't work if/when I bring in proper tagging.
I'm going to ignore that for now. Get the current problem fixed, and then think about how to fix it if/as/when I actually do bring in tagging. (I'm not sure, for example, how I'd tag this entry).
I also want to add counters for each page, probably broken down into url/user agent/count tuples. (I'd like to grab ip as well, but that's PI enough I'd need to ask consent. I wonder if ASN is PI?)
Thinking about it, I want to add date into that as well, so I can look for trends (or see spikes).
I should probably also track response status code, and maybe response generation time
I was thinking earlier, it's not Prometheus that's the problem, it's grafana. Grafana is both too complex, and not able to do the things I want. Time to research alternatives. (Yes, Google charts is on the list, but so is writing my own (basic!) SVG chat drawing tool).
That's latest/last seen fixed/moved. They're now ::after the header, and with no messing about with position.
I looked at adding the .latest class on the server, but I got bogged down with lists and stuff. (I've been trying to hard to handle entries lazily, but since I'm fairly sure the page is held in memory until it's been generated, I'm not sure I see the point).
