Tech Stack

I’m using the the Astro web framework to build my blog. The theme is written in vanilla JavaScript (+ TypeScript for type checking) and a little bit of ReactJS for some interactions. TailwindCSS is used for styling, and Markdown is used for blog content.

Hosting and Deployment

The blog is hosted on Vercel. With each push to the GitHub repository, Vercel automatically checks and updates the website, ensuring a seamless deployment process.

Content Management

All blog posts are written in Markdown and saved as Markdown files directly in the GitHub repository. This makes content management straightforward and version-controlled.

Database and Backend

Currently, blog posts are stored in the GitHub repository. However, I plan to implement a database soon to manage the content more efficiently.

Analytics and SEO

The website is optimized for SEO to ensure it ranks well in search engine results. I use Vercel Speed Insights to monitor and enhance the website’s performance and Plausible for privacy-friendly analytics.

Performance and Optimization

With a Lighthouse score of around 90, the website is optimized for performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO.
