The Engine#
This site is built with Hugo, a fast and flexible static site generator written in Go. I’m not using any plugins or custom scripts—just Hugo’s built-in shortcodes and Markdown features for structure and formatting.
The Theme#
The site uses a customized version of the Hugo Book Theme, with my own styling for typography, layout, and navigation. I’ve aimed for something clean, legible, and fast without sacrificing personality.
My Setup#
All articles are written in Markdown.1 I use Visual Studio Code for writing, coding, and general site development. I still rely on MultiMarkdown conventions for structure and readability where appropriate.
The domain is registered through Hover2 and hosted via GitHub Pages. Development and testing are done on a Mac, and the site is verified on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Occasional testing is also done on Windows with Edge.

The Markdown flavor I use is a hybrid of CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown. It keeps content consistent and portable between editors and static site generators. ↩︎
