i made a personal website!
Caution
This weblog is ooold (well it's only been 2 months at most, but in internet time it's basically been decades). Even this website is a complete remake of the previous one, not even using the same stack.
Biggest hugest credit to melankorin.net for everything, really. Currently my web page is the shittier version of hers, but I promise I will develop it to my liking soon after my finals, well not really I still have that website I promised for one of my professors in uni. But that's for another day.
Anyway, for the main tech, I use 11ty. I'm really tempted to switch to vanilla React, I really do. But then I would need to make everything from scratch. Implement an SSG, templating stuff, all of the plugins (especially the image one), and some more stuff I just have no time to deal with. That being said, I have not utilised the markdown feature in 11ty at all. All I've done currently is just make custom non reusable .njk files. And I probably wouldn't use the blogging feature there as well. I really like spacehey, specifically blogging in spacehey for some reason though, probably because there is that slight possibility people actually read some of my stuff. :sob:
Another tech I use is codeberg.org. That's where I store my source code and where stuff gets built using their CI. I could probably get away with just uploading my _site folder (as that's basically what the CI is doing) to the pages repository, but hey, CI looks aND sounds cooler, alright?
Also, I think there is no similar feature (what I mean is a simple tweet-like feature) in spacehey like status.cafe (awesome website btw) which just means I'll continue using status.cafe and I don't think there is an API here as well, so I won't be able to fetch stuff I write here. Did a bit of research and saw a reddit post from 3 years ago asking the same question and the answer is no. But I did come across an interesting concept- POSSE- which I probably wouldn't use just because that sounds like a pain and it sounds like a paid service (100k business idea here)
Okay let's stop writing. I have to study for my finals. I'm not a psychologist or anything I'm barely a person but I think the reason I wrote this blog post is because I want to avoid studying. :crying_sobbing:
