Today we’ll do a small exercise - I want you to see Cinode in action for yourself. For that I wanted to make the Cinode data format a bit more stable so that certain magic values used in this post will keep working for at least some time. I’m pretty sure this is now the case - and even if I find some critical bug, I did some preparations to be able to maintain backwards compatibility.

A lot has happened in the last month or so. For various reasons I was able to spend a bit more time on Cinode and make some good progress with this project. In this and some following posts I will outline what the current status of Cinode is, what it is currently capable of, how you can play with it yourself. Will try to keep this as generic as possible, no deep math this time, I promise 😉.

Disclaimer: Tech heavy, no security guarantees This will be a tougher post, covering many threads and details. The ideas I present may be hard to understand. Apologies if something is not easy to chew up here, I’ll try to do my best. I believe though that the topic I cover here - dynamic links - is what makes Cinode fundamentally usable and want to materialize it as fast as possible.

Yeah, well, not so much content here recently. I have a lot of ideas, the content is already clear in my head for a long time. But it’s just the hard reality of life-work balance. Just as an excuse: the goat ate my homework 😉. Speaking of goat, I did some cleanup to this blog to dust it off from all the rust that gathered over the last few years, I removed markdown linter warning, fixed a ton of typos and switched to Hugo’s GoAT syntax - some diagrams look a bit better now.

One of the rules I did set in the previous post was to practically test the theory that is forming here. Thus it is high time to make use of what has been said so far before moving forward. What I have discussed so far can perfectly fit into static web page where every page consists of rarely changing blobs of data. An example of such page is this blog - it’s compiled using hugo and the result can easily be served using a simple web server such as apache or nginx.
