Notes on "releases"

I just added a world map to my landing page, showing where I’ve been. Have a look! I’m looking forward to exploring more of this world!

I just added a new category of notes called “collection notes”.

Collection notes gather resources on a single topic — books, articles, videos — in one place. Think of them as better-organized bookmark folders. Here’s the commit: zlliang/zlliang@d4c1f5a.

I’ve already written one on my Zilong’s Days (Chinese) website: Shinobu Yoshii’s works.

Last weekend, I reorganized my personal websites. Here’s the new structure:

Website	URL	Description
Personal landing page	https://zlliang.me	Brief introduction and navigation
Zilong’s Tech Notes	https://tech.zlliang.me	Tech learning and research (English)
Zilong’s Days	https://days.zlliang.me	Daily life and reflections (Chinese)

In this post, I explain my motivation for splitting the sites. After this change, I’m ready to mark version 1.0 of my writing framework. The permalinks will be stable, and I’m excited to share more technical and personal topics in these spaces.

I just updated the license of this website. Now it’s dual-licensed: code under MIT, content under CC BY 4.0. Previously I used CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 for content, but decided to go more open — fewer restrictions, more sharing.

Here’s the commit: zlliang/zlliang@6083f34.

I just added a new category of notes called “quote notes”. Quote notes share quotes from books, articles, and other sources, sometimes with my own commentary.

Here’s the commit: zlliang/zlliang@3419c89. I also updated the relevant descriptions in Starting a Tech Blog at the End of 2025.

I just added pagination to note pages like /notes and /notes/categories/link, as the number of notes grows. Each page now shows up to 20 notes, and a tiny pagination indicator lets you navigate between pages without scrolling endlessly. I used Astro’s built-in pagination feature. Here’s the commit: zlliang/zlliang@0b22dda.
