This page describes how this site was made. For more details, source code for this site and associated tools is available on sourcehut.

If you have any questions about or problems with this site, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Software

This site is generated using a bespoke build system combining several tools. Templating is done via PHP, and the entire build process is coördinated using GNU Make.

Other tools used include Google's libwebp for image processing, entr to facilitate the development server, minify for CSS minification, and my own htmlight for syntax highlighting.

Currently, the site is hosted on the wonderful pgs.sh, which is built and maintained by pico.sh

Typography

The typography on this site is based on Modern Font Stacks, and as such this site does not depend on any fonts not already present on visitors’ computers.

Heading and body text uses the Transitional font stack, and block and inline code uses the Monospace Code stack.

Colors

The site's color scheme is very directly based on the ever-classic Solarized color scheme by Ethan Schoonover. This site seamlessly supports both light and dark variants via the prefers-color-scheme CSS media query.

The syntax highlighting stylesheet is based off the one generated by the excellent syntect syntax highlighting library.
