Implementation Plan: /uses Page

Background & Motivation

The user wants to create a /uses page detailing their hardware, software, and photography gear. This follows the convention of uses.tech. The page should be integrated into the existing site navigation and utilize the current CSS themes.

Scope & Impact

• Create a new Markdown page uses/index.md utilizing the existing post layout to ensure theme consistency and ease of future updates.
• Parse ~/dev/dotfiles/mac/Brewfile to populate the Software and CLI sections.
• Add “Uses” to the main navigation menu across all relevant HTML and Layout files.

Proposed Solution & Implementation Steps

Phase 1: Content Gathering (DONE)

• Found the Brewfile at /Users/gurupanguji/dev/dotfiles/mac/Brewfile.
• Extracted primary software (casks) and CLI tools (brews).

Phase 2: Page Creation (DONE)

• Created uses/index.md with:
  • Frontmatter for layout: post.
  • Custom <style> block for section headers and lists.
  • Curated content from user input and Brewfile, including latest refinements (iPhone 17 Pro, Zima Cube NAS, ZSA Voyager).

Phase 3: Navigation Updates (DONE)

• Updated:
  • index.html (class link-item)
  • _layouts/post.html (class nav-link)
  • about/index.html (class nav-link)
  • reviews/index.html (class nav-link)
  • reviews/camera/fujifilm/x100vi/index.html
  • reviews/camera/leica/m11-p/index.html
  • labs/index.html
  • labs/is-it-time-to-upgrade-to-tahoe-yet/index.html
  • rss/index.html

Verification

• Ensured Jekyll frontmatter and Markdown structure follow project standards.
