Migrating the blog to Micro.blog

I am moving my blog from Pelican to micro.blog. Pelican was great but required efforts to build, deploy and push. Blogging should be as frictionless as possible. I always wanted to write my own blogging engine. But it required a lot more time than I thought. We need to create APIs for handling uploads, integrate rich text editor, handle hosting and then migrate all the old posts. Micro.blog does all of this plus a lot more. **Things that made me move to Micro.blog were:** - **Micropub specs:** Micro.blog follows [micropub](https://micropub.net) specs. That means we can use any blogging software for publishing. - **Crossposting:** this is big one. Micro.blog can automatically share new posts on Twitter. It can also *import* content from other sources. - **Integration with IFTTT:** I love [Pinboard](https://pinboard.in/u:pratyush) for bookmarking. It is my pseudo-blog. Using [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com), I might be able to cross-post the links from Pinboard. - **Freedom**: Micro.blog uses [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) under the hood. Thus it is as customisable as we want. Plus [@manton](https://www.manton.org) has done a great job to make the migrations easy. Hope I can post more in 2021.
