chovy.com

A terminal-style microblog. Short thoughts only — nothing over 240 characters. Think tweets, not long-winded blog posts.

Stack

Plain static site: index.html + style.css + app.js. No build step, no framework. Posts live in posts.json.

Adding a post

Prepend a new entry to posts.json (newest id wins; the feed sorts by id descending):

{
  "id": 4,
  "date": "2026-06-12",
  "text": "Your thought here. Keep it under 240 characters."
}

Commit and push — that's the whole publishing flow.

Local dev

Any static server works:

python3 -m http.server 8080
# or
npx serve .

Then open http://localhost:8080.

Deploy

The site is static, so it hosts anywhere (Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Railway). The CNAME file points the GitHub Pages deploy at chovy.com.

Host it on AgentBBS (~username + your own domain)

AgentBBS serves each member a tilde homepage at https://bbs.profullstack.com/~name, and you can point your own domain at it with auto-HTTPS:

# 1. register + get a pod, then drop this site into your homepage
ssh join@bbs.profullstack.com
ssh pod@bbs.profullstack.com
$ cd ~/public_html && git clone https://github.com/profullstack/chovy.com . # or scp the files in

# 2. point your domain at your homepage
ssh domain@bbs.profullstack.com add chovy.com

Then set DNS — CNAME chovy.com -> bbs.profullstack.com (subdomain) or an A record to the host's IPv4 (apex). HTTPS is issued on the first request. See docs/custom-domains.md in the agentbbs repo for details.
