As a developer, I've always sought effective ways to organize my insights and new learnings in technology. The idea of creating a central hub where I can document and share my journey and findings kept growing on me. That's why I decided to launch this blog. It's not just a platform for me to archive my knowledge, but also a space where fellow developers can explore and maybe find inspiration or solutions.
The how?
After spending weeks reviewing different frameworks, I settled on using the static site generator Zola and decided to host the blog on Github Pages. This setup has some great perks:
Simplicity in Hosting: Setting up and maintaining the blog became a breeze, removing the usual complexities associated with web hosting.
Cost-Effectiveness: The entire setup is free, which is perfect for developers looking to showcase their work without incurring additional costs.
Familiar Writing Process: Zola's support for markdown meant I could write and format my posts in a way that's second nature to me, streamlining content creation.
Version Control with Git: Integrating my blog with Git through Github Pages made version control and content updates straightforward, ensuring that my work is always backed up and easily manageable.
