Looking for an about page about me?.

Site structure #

This website is a self-coded project, with the help of a static site generator - 11ty. 11ty converts Markdown files into HTML pages, making it easy for me to design the frontend while keeping the process simple.

According to 11ty's website:

• Eleventy is a simple static site generator.
• It quickly builds fast websites.
• It's a popular modern web site generator.

for me, eleventy converts Markdown files (.md) into HTML pages, making it simply and easy to make the pages while letting me design the frontend.

Site hosting #

After the website is built, it's just a folder on my desktop (or source code in a Github repository). I use Netlify, a partially-free hosting service, to auto-deploy the website from the Github repository.

Domain proivder #

The domain is provided by Cloudflare.

Visitor analytics #

Usage statistics are tracked using umami, an open-source alternative to Google Analytics. Although it was a bit challenging to set up, the data presentation and graphs look great once it's up and running. The PostgreSQL database and hosting for Umami is provided by Railway, a convenient and free platform for hosting projects like this.

Email service #

My email is managed through Migadu, which allows me to manage my aliases and mailboxes easily and securely.
