This site's technology stack

Published on:

Documenting this here in case I forget.

This technology stack is basically:

  1. Eleventy, a static page generator.
  2. Bulma, for a CSS framework.
  3. Markdown, for many of the pages themselves.
  4. Nova, a Mac editor/IDE, to build the files, track changes and publish to the remote site.
  5. npx to kick off Eleventy

Markdown has been a very simple and reliable way to build content. For example, we can pretty easily include an image:

Mr. Toad from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Mr. Toad Statuette, from outside Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Disneyland

This was a very easy way to embed an image, although subtitles for images aren't really supported.
