Colophon - IndieWeb

General

This website is build with Astro and TailwindCSS. The font is JetBrains Mono and the theme is based on colors from kanagawa.nvim.

The site is currently hosted on Cloudflare Workers. The code repository is hosted on GitHub. I have a simple deployment pipeline to build the site every time new commits are added to the main branch.

Content

Most content on the site is written in Markdown and managed using Astro Content Collections. I’ve also used Astro Islands for interactive components in one blog posts, but I plan to migrate to web components when it comes to content. Mainly to increase portability in case I need to change frameworks in the future.

Publication and update dates for are generated based on the git history and include links to the corresponding commit on GitHub.

I use Mermaid for diagramming in some of my notes. SVGs with the diagrams are generated during the build process using Playwright.

I provide an RSS feed for blog posts. Feeds for other content on the site are coming soon.

I use giscus for blog posts comments.
