armainaA guide on making 'filters' using CSS
https://solaria.neocities.org/guides/cssfilter
And a neat little CSS layout for a little card system using the same technique
https://osteophage.neocities.org/projects/templates/bibliodex
Pretty much just using the CSS hide/display features, means you can only display one item at a time and not be able to have different sorting options, but it's better than nothing on a static website.

I had been manually making an RSS feed but, for a reason I speculate being my means of upload, when I made changes to my feed and uploaded them, they never.. really updated in my feed reader. So I had been looking for something to automate that for me, like a blog. Problem is.. most blogs had way way more features than I needed, required another large database install and were just overkill for my desired purpose. You'd think that in all this time someone would have made some sort of flat file database blog system but apparently, they had not! All the other stripped down blogs (bear blog, status.cafe) required making an account on their platform, no self-hosting.
In my search it was also increasingly frustrating when given recommendations that didn't fit what I was looking for when I was very clear about what I needed. A standalone simple blog that generates an RSS feed and uses some form of flat file or single file database. Someone saw my plight and stepped up, fixing up another system to make it more secure and a little bit more clean which lead to:
TKR: A simple status system

https://gitea.subcultureofone.org/greg/tkr
A stand-alone project that is similar to Status.Cafe in format, but self-hosted, using a SQLite database so as to be easy to drop in or move no matter what server I use. (I, admittedly, still am trying to test it)
