===========================================================================
                             My Personal Site
===========================================================================

This page is about : https://lovergne.dev/ 

Repository: github.com/theBigRoomXXL/lovergne.dev[1] 

I started  this project in the summer of 2023 as a way to experiment with a
more minimalistic stack and design for the web. This site is organized like
a zettelkasten[2]: everything that I  write is a  self-contained  note that
links to other resources. A tag system is used to categorize the notes into
different pages  of the  site  (awesome, blogroll, projects), and each note
has its own page with a unique URL. 

I use Astro for static site generation, and there are no other dependencies
(well,  technically, there is normalize.css[3]  for CSS reset, but it's  so
small it  doesn't really  count!). The site  was originally  hosted  on  my
homelab,  but  I moved  it to GitHub  Pages  so  that  I  could  close  all
public-facing services on my homelab. 

There are a lot of little things I like about this site: 

  • Light and Fast: The landing page is currently only 32KB (fonts and logo
    included!), which means it's blazingly fast™. 

  • Fully Accessible: Built with semantic HTML and accessibility in mind. 

  • It's Beautiful: Well, at least I think so. And  I really love my little
    isometric logo. 

  • Dark/Light Theme: Based on `prefers-color-scheme`. 

  • Print Support: With a minimal secondary stylesheet  (see print.css[4]).
    I don't think anyone else cares about that, but I like it. 

  • RSS Feed Support. 


And finally, the  thing I like the most is that every page is also rendered
as a plain text file! Just  click on the  little Want Some ASCII?[5] button
at the bottom of the page, and you'll get the plain text version. This is a
useless but  lovely  feature. It started  when I  was  playing  with  ASCII
diagram  characters[6]  to  render  tables  and  then  read   the   OpenSSH
regreSSHion  report[7]  and though " what if  I  used the same  plain  text
formatting  but using  more advanced  unicode  characters?". After that  it
turned  into a  deep-dive  into  Unicode and hacks  like  bold  and  italic
formatting  using mathematical  characters[8]. This was also an opportunity
to work  with  Abstract  Syntax Trees[9] to  parse  the markdow, which  was
something that piqued my curiosity for a long time.
