      I am still writing https://nts.strzibny.name

      It's my own retrospection / notes / and now also marketing for my books Deployment from Scratch and Kamal Handbook.

      I get around 6k/mo visits, it's not really growing but I also never wrote "for SEO", just whatever I am dealing with.

      As for promotion I submit the better posts to Ruby subreddit and I am lucky my posts are often picked up by 2 Ruby newsletters.

      You should be able to run multiple services with kamal 2! [0] They'll just be their own config.yml file that you push with the cli.
