About this site

This site is about sharing knowledge and showcasing my work, skills, and interests. And then:

  • it's about programming, opensource software, technology, computing, web development, APIs, personal projects, popular science, and anything else I find useful to share;
  • it's about documenting my learning journey as I hone my skills in software crafting; and
  • about helping other programmers like me solve their coding problems through the HOW-TO tutorials I write, the tools I recommend, and the useful resources I link to here, all in the spirit of comradery.

I do not follow any strict update schedule here. I just publish on the site whenever I have something nice to share. The most frequently updated page would be the blog. Be sure to check it out!

Styling & Assets

Styled using plain, vanilla CSS. No frameworks or pre-processors like Tailwind or SCSS. Key design highlights:

  • Font-family: Noto Serif for the body text, Poppins for the header affiliation
  • The only JavaScript on this site is Prism.js for syntax highlighting
  • Color: A neutral color palette with HSL values. HSL seems more intuitive to me.
  • I have tried to make this site resposive and optimized for viewing on devices of various sizes.
