How this website was built

Technologies

I use Astro to generate the static files for this site. Version control and backups are managed through GitHub , which also handles deployment via GitHub Pages, supported by custom GitHub Actions I’ve configured. For styling and layout, I rely on Tailwind CSS , which helps me build various components and pages on this website. All my blog posts are written in Markdown to follow the file over app principle. Assets are optimized using ImagOptim for images, and converted in the webbp format by Astro at build time.

Accessibility

This topic is still a work in progress for me, so this website will be my playground to improve on accessibility. To make this progress transparent, I am currently checking and improving using WAVE by WebAIM .

Sustainability

I try to make my website as light as I can, with the tools I want to use. 0.06 g of CO2 is produced when someone visits the homepage. This is cleaner than 95 % of all web pages globally. This website is also running on sustainable energy, by being hosted on GitHub servers. Everything can be checked on Website Carbon .

Privacy

This website doesn't track you and respects your privacy.

There’s no data collection, no ads, no affiliate links, and no third-party tracking. You won’t find any pop-ups or intrusive elements like modal windows here either. On the privacy aspect, this can be verified using The Markup .

I am using Shaarli for my curation, where there is also no data collection, no ads, no affiliate links, and no third-party tracking. But since I am sharing links to other websites, these websites might be doing data collection. I also use Substack to host my website, and this platform uses various third-party trackers.

Typography

I chose two fonts for this website. Both of them are self-hosted for privacy and performance, and are in their variant version. Headers are set in EB Garamond by Georg Duffner . Body is set in Inter by Rasmus Andersson .
