I put together a fieldset and template that allows external links to be added to the navigation of Statamic sites alongside internal links.<!-- excerpt --> To implement this in your site, the fieldset should look like the following:
```
```yaml
title: Nav link
fields:
link:
display: Link
required: true
default:
type: text
content:
type: hidden
fields:
link:
display: Link
required: true
default:
type: text
content:
```
This fieldset should be accompanied by a template named link.html which will need to be added to your site's theme. The contents of the template are simply Statamic's [redirect example](http://www.statamic.com/learn/documentation/tags/redirect).
Now you should be able to create link pages in your Statamic admin panel that can then be added to your site's navigation. The pages created in the panel should create page files that look like the following:
```
```yaml
title: Example link page
fieldset: link
template: link
link: http://example.com
link: https://example.com
```
Is there an easier or more effective way to do this? [Let me know.](mailto:hi@coryd.dev)

Are you currently using Fastmail in a Fluid instance? Or do you have a particular web client you prefer? I'm currently pretty happy with this setup and already have a few other ideas for URL handlers and scripts I plan on trying out.

I subscribe to a number of mailing lists and, up until recently, had been using individual server-side rules to sort all incoming messages from those lists in to a specific folder. However, as the number of lists I was subscribed to grew, adding and maintaining individual rules became increasingly tedious.<!-- excerpt -->

> I can't help but agree. There are a number of great messaging solutions out right now but none are as ubiquitous, reliable or open as email. The chat / messaging space suffers from a lack of all of these attributes — chat is becoming increasingly fragmented as companies battle for dominance and revenue.<!-- excerpt -->

I wanted to replace the free services I was using with comparable services from companies whose interests we're aligned with their users (whose users were their customers -- not advertisers) and who had a clear business model (they provide a service their users pay for).[^1]

While Fastmail provides an outstanding email experience, they do not currently support CardDav syncing for contacts ([CalDav support is currently in beta](https://www.fastmail.com/help/quick_tours_setting_up_domain.html 'Quick Tours - How to Use Your Own Domain') ). It is worth noting that Fastmail has a [CardDav](https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000278342-Server-names-and-ports#contacts 'Address Book - LDAP Access') server that allows you to store contacts associated with your mail account (with an option to add people you correspond with automatically), but the server is read-only.
For now I'm using iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts and will weigh Fastmail's options for each when full support arrives. I'm currently leaning towards sticking with iCloud rather than adopting Fastmail's solutions.[^3] I didn't, admittedly, explore a host of options for calendar and contact syncing outside of iCloud. I use iCloud for a handful of other things and adopting sync services from yet another party seemed clunky.

**Fastmail so far**
I've been using Fastmail since the end of November and couldn't be happier with it. The service has been extremely reliable (I haven't noticed a single instance of downtime). It's also been nice to use a traditional IMAP implementation after having used Google's quirky implementation for so long. Fastmail doesn't have the host of services Google provides, but it is a bullet proof email provider that I feel I can trust with my data which was exactly what I was looking to in switching[^4]

> When getting into a band became as easy as typing its name into a search box, particular musical tastes lost their function as signifiers of commitment. What you listened to ceased to be a measure of how much you cared and became a mere list of what you liked.
I used to be (and suppose I still am — to some extent) a fan of heavy metal. Almost all of the bands I listened to released records through small labels or independently with small print runs for each release being the norm. At the time, half the fun was not only finding new bands but actually _finding_ their releases so you could even listen to them. No band is all that great if everyone can listen to them and all that — exclusivity is king and all that (there was a sense of ownership or being in the know that came along with finding a new band and being able to refer fans of similar music to them).

Streaming services have eroded a lot of the excitement inherent in the old process of discovering new music. Now you can follow playlists or immediately stream just about anything anyone recommends to you (there are some notable exceptions — one of my favorite bands, Canadian punk act [NoMeansNo](http://www.nomeanswhatever.com), only has a greatest hits compilation distributed digitally). As silly as it is, I get less excited about finding new bands now and I tend to over-listen to releases I'm excited about, burn out on them and move on. As fans, we're less invested in what we're listening to because we didn't make the effort to discover it and the financial investment in a physical release or digital download to really attach us to it. Sure, we _are_ paying for music inasmuch as paying a [Spotify](http://spotify.com) or Beats is paying for access to music ... but we're not directly supporting artists by buying those releases, by seeing the artwork, by having to go through the tea ceremony of pulling out a vinyl record and putting it on a turntable.
