About this site
This site is a modified version of AstroCactus. It uses TypeScript, ReactJS for components, TailwindCSS for styling, and Markdown for blog content. The code and syntax highlighting are handled by Expressive Code. The icons use Astro Icon. I'm using the Astro.build framework and hosting on Netlify which auto deploys my website based on git commits. Pagefind static search library integration for search. Logo created and drawn by Emma Kitzman.
