Colophon

You can see the source for this site on GitHub. This tools used to create it are described here.

Tech

• Astro is used to generate the static site from layouts, components, and markdown content.
  • I used to use Eleventy, and you can still see my old Eleventy site on GitHub, but I found it difficult to maintain.
  • I moved to Astro because it has full TypeScript support and most of the things that I wanted built in without having to build myself.
• The site (and all my sites) are hosted on Cloudflare pages.
  • I also use Cloudflare to manage domains, email, etc. I find it useful to have all of my web infrastructure in the same place, and Cloudflare’s free offerings are great.
• The site is styled with Tailwind CSS for base styles and daisyUI for components.

Tools

• The site is maintained using Visual Studio Code, while the source code is stored in a git repo hosted on my GitHub.
• I use Better Commits to format commits.
• Actual content for the site is written in Obsidian, and my previous site was entirely contained within an Obsidian vault.
  • There’s great plugins for both the markdown engines used by both Astro and Eleventy for some better compatibility with Obsidian’s markdown syntax.
