πŸš€ added threads to my posts/thoughts & now you can read them as articles

the static microblog now generates a series of quoted posts as threads, where posts are displayed from oldest to newest

so everything that I post on other social media, like X/Twitter also gets posted to my microblog at https://illya.sh/thoughts/

frequently an idea evolves into a series of posts - a thread/small article

the way I do it is by quoting the logically connected post, thus forming a chain of related posts

if you build a DAG with temporal order & display posts from oldest to newest you get a thread of posts, forming a small article

this isn’t how you usually write threads on X - where it’s more common to do it via nested replies

I don’t want to fix my use-case to X’s rules, but also want to provide an intuitive reading experience

Illya's Thought Threads is available under https://illya.sh/threads/

there you can access them in a nice reader view

order is most recently updated first - so a fresh addition to a thread bumps it up in the timeline of threads

here's how the thread reading experience looks like

the aim is clean article view - with timestamps as visual separators between posts/thoughts

if you click on the timestamp it takes you to the individual post/thoughts

ask ChatGPT what are the latest Illya's Threads and it will tell you πŸ˜„

should also work with Grok, Claude, Gemini and any other agentic AI with web access

this is again JSON-LD magic - LLMs seem to love it

i only added threads a few hours ago - it's already indexed & working

updated Illya's Threads url to https://illya.sh/threads/

now it gets it own subdirectory - so the URLs are shorter and it's more modular to manage the sitemaps this way

later I'll also add an RSS feed for threads, just like the one for thoughts at https://illya.sh/thoughts/feed.xml
