How I Made This Site

12-16-2022

I like typing in lists.

  • Gatsby - React-based front-end framework
    • Using gatsby-transformer-remark plugin to parse Markdown (I'm writing this blog in a Markdown file in VSCode) from the filesystem and convert it to HTML.
  • Typescript - Javascript superset with typing
  • Tailwind - CSS framework
    • Started with base tailwind styles and added on top like the link coloring.
  • Github/Netlify - for code repo and deployment respectively
    • Been hosting this site for years now free with Github and Netlify. Committing to Github master branch triggers Netlify's build and deploy.
