Tools used for this site

I started off on Blogger back in 2014, but rapidly got annoyed by how difficult it was to format source code to my satisfaction with that tool. I used Wordpress until 2021, but some of the changes made to that platform and the thought that I should really "own my content" made me move to a solution I built myself.

Currently the tools used to build this blog are:

• Statiq
  Statiq is the .Net-based static site generator used to transform markdown into web pages.
• EnlighterJS
  Enlighter is the syntax highlighting tool used for code snippets.
• MermaidJS
  Allows me to draw pretty diagrams from markdown-like syntax
• TailWind CSS
  The site is styled using TailWind.
• Alpine.js
  Alpine provides the small bits of JavaScript used in the pages.
• GitHub
  It's hosted using GitHub Pages
• Cloudflare
  DNS is managed via Cloudflare
