About this site

Astro

Astro means that I can try any javascript framework and have somewhere to put it, this is the key reason i decided to go with it So far I have used 3 seperate technologies, Namely:

• SolidJS -> for the homepage
• Vue -> for the TIL page
• Svelte -> for the blog page These are some of the latest technologies in the frontend world and I am excited to see what they can do

Tailwind

Tailwind Tailwind is very extensible and has great convenience features such as dark mode, it is also well supported by major frameworks and that means that no matter what framework I use, I will be able to get a consistent UI

Ruby

Ruby is my default language and so i had to use it somewhere, so to make it worth my while i write blogs in pure mark down and have scripts to create and alter the .astro files by adding all the metadata etc... I also want to have syntax highlighting without too much difficulty so using a ruby script I can use the gitlab API to convert markdown into HTML which i can compliment with custom CSS so that i get the look that I want.

AI

AI is the new big thing and so using ChatGPT i can generate a short excerpt as well as a couple of key words which can help for a simple search that i have implemented with fuseJS on the frontend, which is using a json object as a database

Where to find it

This site is hosted on render.com and is also open source so can be found on GitHub It is a very simple site but allows me to play around with frontend technologies, as a backend developer it allows me to learn more about frontend and also the frontend technologies that are being used currently
