Creating this website was interesting. I felt like everytime I tried some other tool, it wasn't quite right. Ideally something like a blog generator is bespoke and works exactly how you want. This, so far, does. Also, something like this should be simple.

The generative components are all written in Go. It's a pretty good language for this sort of thing, and building out the various parsers and tests was a good way to gain a bit of experience building something useful.

I hate writing CSS with a passion so I opted for tailwind since I've heard good things. I'm still getting used to its approach, but it's definitely preferable to writing CSS by hand for me.

I hope to write here often-ish. Famous last words I know. I'll be writing about a mix of things technical and not. I'll also be expanding the capabilities of this site generator, and hopefully I'll document those changes in posts on the site as well.

Best,

Jordan
