Hi, my name is Jonathan Frei.
Pardon the mess while I get things reset up online. You can email me at hi [@] jonathan frei dot com or reach me on X at @jonathanfrei although I don’t post anymore.
Earlier iterations of this site are still available online. I published v1 on Blogger from 2009 to 2010; v2 on Tumblr from 2010 to 2014; v3 on a self-hosted Wordpress from 2014 to 2022 (online version is now a static copy hosted in an S3 bucket); v4 lives in Github and is distributed through Cloudflare from 2022 to 2026.
The current site is built with Jekyll, deployed via GitHub Actions, and served through Cloudflare.
Short posts live on the blog. Longer writing will appear as articles. A portfolio or photo galleries may come later.

Working Copy supports automation through the Shortcuts app where files and other data can flow between actions. You locate these actions inside Apps > Working Copy.
Use Get Repository Files to get one or several files from a repository that can be passed to other actions. The Path parameters can contain wildcards such as docs/*.md and if it points to a directory all files inside are returned. You can configure the action to only include files with a particular status such as modified and combining this with Path=/ can be useful to get all files with this status.
I’m getting into iOS Shortcuts and Working Copy. The two are a match made in tinkerer’s heaven.
