What is this Blog and why did I Make It !
๐ Hi !
Welcome to my Blog ! In this post Iโm going to try to explain what this blog is, why I made it and what Iโm going to mostly post on it.
โ What ?
This website is a blogโฆ it is going to be mostly about programming. I am going to mostly post about the projects that Iโve done, the process of developing them and the new things that I learn in that process. If you are a programmer or just interested in anything related to that, I guess this blog is suited for you !
Why ?
I made this blog mostly for selfish reasons. First things first, I wanted to have someone to listen to me and the things i have to say. I love sharing knowledge. Second of all, I wanted a place to journal all the things I doo. you can be sure I have lost alot of progress through just forgetting my old projects.
Where ?
It is hosted on github pages ! I absoloutley love the idea of the integration between a repository manager and a static website hoster ! I decided to go with github pages because of two reasons
- It is free ๐
- I can easily upload content with git ๐
I am going to try to move this website from github pages to something like a raspberry pi and try to make it fully eco friendly with solar panels โ๏ธ or something but thatโs for a later project ๐
How ?
I made this website with Astro ๐ if you are interested in learning astro or you just want to see how I made this website, definetley check out the source code ! The reason I chose Astro was because of these reasons :
- Static Website Generation
- Minimalism
- Fully Compatible With Other Frameworks
- Unbelievably High Speed
- Easy Integration With Github Pages
- Amazing Docs and Tutorials
If you want to make a documentation page or a blog or anything, I suggest you use Astro. Iโm not sponsored btw but I just love astro so much. At first I started with a minimal setup and made all of it from scratch with tailwind. but then I realized that it is too much work and at the end itโs going to be unoptimized and messy. So I scratched it all and chose to go with the blog template. I just customized it and here we are ! Since it was styled in css I decided to not go with tailwind and coded it all in pure css.
Side Note
Most of my blogs are not going to be this short. I will try to make them as informative and useful as possible. so sorry if this one is too short ๐
