New blog

1 min read

After losing two blog databases due to hardware failures, I decided it was time to build my own home on the internet.

Goals:

  • Use the tools I enjoy:
  • Maintain content as markdown files in a git repo
  • Simple and affordable deployment

I will blog about some of the things I've learned:

  • Using NimblePublisher with Mdex for custom markdown parsing
  • Dark mode toggling with TailwindCSS while respecting the system theme (try the sun/moon icon in the top right)
  • Hosting on Fly.io with autosleep

And have plans to add things as I go:

  • RSS feed
  • Link blog
