    Extremely cool and niche and what appears to be the blog's inaugural post: https://www.djmurphy.net/blog/

    "Yet" made me chuckle. It's coming soon!

    Love this and was my first introduction to the <ruby> HTML element (this feels like a great expanded use case). Also couldn't agree more re: your point on the resurrection of "old internet" blogs, it's a trend I'm very much enjoying.

    I'm somewhat disappointed that I couldn't find a unicode character corresponding to the "long r". Anyway this is peak typography and delighted to see efforts to put proper clóscríobh on the web. Pairs nicely with an ogham terminal.

    edit: I just hadn't been looking hard enough, in Latin Extended-D there is indeed a "small letter insular r": ꞃ
