Current & Future Tasks Overview

Published on May 26, 2025

🔄 Project Timeline & Upcoming Tasks

  • ✅ Convert all site images to WebP
    • Reducing storage usage and improving performance.
  • ⏳ Database cleanup
    • Deleting older, unused images post-WebP conversion to reclaim space.
  • 🛠️ Building this GitHub Pages site
    • Using Markdown to document plans, completed tasks, and public guides.

🧪 Experiments & Possibilities

  • 🔁 Install NGINX alongside Apache
    • Goal: Serve dev.stationaryreality.com on the same VPS.
    • May eventually:
      • Replace GitHub Pages if it’s more effective.
      • Or run in parallel for hands-on guides and experimentation.

🚀 Planned Infrastructure Changes

  • 📦 VPS Migration
    • From Debian Linux 11 ➜ Debian Linux 12.
    • Considering:
      • Fresh VPS for safe, parallel migration and testing.
      • DNS/IP swap after stability confirmed.
  • 🔐 Encrypted Environment
    • Migrate Linode instance to use an encrypted volume inside the hypervisor.
    • Future-proof backups and increase security.

🧰 Content & CMS Enhancements

  • 🗂️ Refactor Custom Post Types
    • Build a new footnote system for chapters.
    • Integrate ACF Pro fields for better metadata tagging and dynamic templates.
  • 🖼️ Replace Cover Blocks
    • Replace most visual elements with WebP screenshots for better consistency and file management.
    • Keep cover blocks for desktop, while simplifying dynamic views.

📬 Contact & Newsletter Integration

  • Started setting up MailPoet for email newsletter sign-up and site update notifications.
  • Configured Cloudflare Email Routing with a catch-all address to handle site mail.
  • Updated Sender (SMTP) settings for MailPoet delivery configuration.
  • Installed a separate Forms plugin to support a simple local contact form for user messages.

🧠 Long-Term Vision

“Once situated, I want to be able to simply grab a book, a PDF, or a video/transcript and extract useful content into my site chapters — or into a pool for future integration — and display it all cleanly, even before final curation.”

  • Create systems to:
    • Quickly enter, organize, and publish knowledge in phases.
    • Display unfinished or in-progress pools of content for preview and future use.
