persist list: listify the blog

26 Oct, 2025

listify the blog

~~create a lists* page for viewing all lists, similar to writing~~
- ~~make sections for status (in progress, completed, planned/waiting?)~~
- ~~add intro text~~
make list posts for:
- Impulse Bye MVP on Google Play
  - not gonna make a list for this one, I think it'll more or less be covered under the worklog video series.. kinda?
- Impulse Bye MVP Worklog video series
- ~~Weekly Civics Study Group - solo season~~
- ~~November Calendar Collage workshop~~
~~finalize tags and list types~~
- ~~apply to existing release lists~~
~~make template post for copying~~
~~update about page~~
update now page
- 11/07 honestly, I don't feel like updating this page and it's not really directly related to this work. It probably belongs on some other blog updating persist list. I'm gonna leave it here, but its completion isn't required.
remove or redo projects page
- 11/07 same as above!

made this list!
okay, I caved and made the lists* page today. With two sections for in progress and completed tags. I still want to add a bit of an intro/explaining text, so will update the list to reflect that. I also added it to the nav and removed the #creating tag from already published lists, so they no longer show up on the writing page.
notes:
- Initial list shouldn't be overwhelming. There's a sweet spot for how many tasks to start with and I think 7 main ones, with a few subtasks might be it?
- Not sold on "process list", maybe "progress list"? "work list", "task list", "project list"? Ugh, idk. Wait... "finishable list"???????????? or tie to a verb, similar to "release list". "focus list"?

made a process list for making a civics study group youtube
I tagged it as planned; I think a list isn't in progress until I've done a task, other than making the list.

added intro text to the lists* page.
finalized tags and list names! I settled on "persist list" for the task lists focused on starting/continuing a project. And for tags: in progress, planned, completed. I also updated the existing process lists' titles and tags.
updated my about page: revised the copy a little bit, plus added links to tags and pages, as well as removed links to the now, changelog, and another page I've already forgotten about.

Updated my post template to include the headers for a Persist or Release list, so I can easily start one.

Made a persist list for Impulse Bye vlog series!
And decided it will more or less cover tasks for Impulse Bye MVP launch, or rather that having two lists would probably be annoying.
Which completes this list! Let's see how well I update the Impulse Bye post, I def neglected the collaborative collage list after a bit.
