Zilong Liang / Hack I just finished a fairly big notes-navigation refresh for both https://tech.zlliang.me and https://days.zlliang.me. Archive pages by year, month, and day are now fully in place, and the sidebar now has a “Writing journey” heatmap.
This makes the notes feel much easier to browse as a body of work instead of a flat reverse-chronological list. For example, visit /notes/2026 for notes in 2026, /notes/2026/03 for notes in March 2026, and /notes/2026/03/19 for notes on Mar 19, 2026. Each cell in the heatmap takes you to the archive page for that specific day.

A monthly archive page, where you can switch to other months or jump to a specific day in the current month
The work happened in two commits: zlliang/zlliang@9ed325f and zlliang/zlliang@9786f32. Most of the implementation was done with help from the Codex app and Amp.
Update Mar 30, 2026: In late March, I renamed my two journal websites. They are now Hack https://hack.zlliang.me and Muse https://muse.zlliang.me. See: Renamed the two journal websites to Hack and Muse.
