In an effort to limit my usage of Amazon, I’ve moved my resume site to a tool called Montaigne.
The reason I chose this tool is because I’m also focusing on removing friction in my writing. I’ve been on the "Just use Apple Notes" train for a while and found Forever✱Notes… which, without disparaging the system or the people who love it, was just too complex for me.
Yes, I found a way to over-engineer my note-taking process - it’s possible even in Apple Notes. I tried the daily note for about 6 months, hubs for work, music, workouts, etc… but then I found myself skipping the daily note and just typing free-form Quick Notes when I needed to.
So now, Apple Notes is my stream-lined journaling and knowledge capturing app. Through a series of shortcuts and audio transcriptions to notes, I’ve made note-taking almost effortless.
Which brings me to my resume website - I don’t want to give more money to Amazon then I have to AND want a frictionless way to update my site (and share the occasional blog post).
Montaigne allows me to create a fully functional site within my Apple Notes and is actually as easy as it says.
I transferred my AWS Route 53 domain to porkbun and will be supporting the Montaigne developer by requesting my site go to this custom domain.
I’ll keep updating this note as my journey continues and will create a few how-tos eventually.
