🥞 This stack

UPDATE (June 11, 2020): I’ve switched this site to use Jekyll on Github Pages.

The current stack is:

  • Jekyll for static site generation. I had used GatsbyJS previously, but after spending time trying to get Server-Side Rendering working, I realized I had gone too far.
  • TailwindCSS for styling. I have too much love for Tailwind.
  • Netlify for hosting. My initial plan was to use Github Pages for hosting, and I may go back there, but Netlify has been nothing short of fantastic for my other projects, so I thought what the hell.

The former stack:

  • GatsbyJS for static site generation. I tend to prefer Vue over React, so I looked at Gridsome originally. but it seems to be nothing more than a Vue knockoff of Gatsby, so I went with the original.
  • TailwindCSS for styling. I have too much love for Tailwind.
  • Netlify for hosting. My initial plan was to use Github Pages for hosting, and I may go back there, but Netlify has been nothing short of fantastic for my other projects, so I thought what the hell.
