The reason behind making of this website

About this website #  

I had started making my portfolio back in December 2022, I spent so much time on it and It looked so good at that time, but as some time passed It started to look ugly to me (don’t ask reasons, ohh but you can’t ask anything right now any ways - Brook, One Piece).

And, I had planned to write some blogs in the blog section of my portfolio but, didn’t write a single word there. To be Honest, I didn’t felt like writing anything there.

So, I decided to make this website where I can do anything I want and show any thing in way which I like and Not to impress people but just to be me. Also, I wanted to keep it minimal and remembered this Linux philosophy.

❝ Do One thing and Do It better ❞ - Linux Philosophy.

Inspiration for this website #  

I took inspiration for this website from some cool folks. I will list their sites:

• Manu Moreale
• Suraj Kushwah
• Max Böck

Tools used to make this website #  

Well, Now I switched to Hugo, I will write about it later.

I used only one tool to build this website. Aaaaaaaaaaand, It’s 11ty. Yeah, I only used 11ty with some extra packages to make this website.

I used eleventy-plugin-vite to run vite as middleware and also to compile SCSS to CSS with the help of sass. And, I also used NunJucks as a templating language.

I found 11ty much much better to build a personal website than any other JavaScript framework. I am not saying that they are bad or anything but 11ty is just simpler and faster. Using 11ty I was able to implement features in this website more easily than what I used earlier which was Next.js .

Specially, this feature, syntax-highlighting in code-blocks.~

1// JS code to print hello world
2const hello = () => {
3  console.log("Hello World");
4};
5hello();

This is still a work in progress as I have yet to put some content in here and some more information about me. I have a lot of features in my mind to implement here, but I am going to stop my urge and keep this simple and clean.

So, This was it. I will see you soon and Have a Nice Day :)
