Interesting approach, providing both options! I personally think DuckDuckGo's search results could be better, plus it's not neatly embedded into my own site: there's a chance people won't come back.
I couldn't find your search link 😅 Why not add it on top of the blog list page? Also, if I disable JS, the message "Please enable JavaScript to use the search functionality, or use the form below." appears below your footer, at the very bottom of the page, instead of next to the "start typing to see the results" input form.
That _most popular posts_ link is interesting though, do you frequently update it by hand?
Oh, and in your "more" page, a link to `/notes` is missing, but I presume that's on purpose? Currently, visitors can't discover that here. Luke squishes multiple links together with a drop-down.

@ -45,4 +45,6 @@ As for site navigation, some like [James Ravenscroft](https://brainsteam.co.uk)
It's interesting to think about: what will you display below your blog post to help navigate your visitors to related stuff, if any? What kind of search strategy are you going to implement? Or do you like linking to others right below or next to your own content? Is your archive page easy to understand? Will you paginate lists or not? What should be displayed on your front page? Are tags really that useful? Are you going to back-link or forward-link? Will there be a best-of summary each month or year that's easy for people to find?
Oh, and don't neglect your RSS subscribers! Will you be adding a specific footer that links to related articles for RSS entries as well?
Am I overthinking this? Maybe, but that's what this place is for, isn't it?
