This site is built using the JAMstack, with third-party integrations to make it performant where necessary.

Design & Development

The source code repository is hosted at GitLab, and the site's scaffolding is powered by Jekyll. The site's layout built using Bootstrap compiled from Sass, with a good helping of custom HTML/CSS where needed. Since this is a static site, comments are powered by Hyvor Talk and forms are handled by Formik.

Syntax highlighting for code blocks is done with Rouge. Fonts are from Google Fonts and SVG Icons are from Feather.

Request logs are aggregated using Logflare while general visitor analytics are done with a combination of Goat Counter and Google Analytics. Uptime monitoring and health checks are handled by UpDown.
