Hello, world
Here's what to expect. (Spolier: not much)
Hi, I’m Greg, and this is a small corner of the internet where I am trying out a few different pieces of technology, putting in links to projects in process, and otherwise jot down notes.
The stack
Mostly, I am using this to try out Git/Markdown based publishing to free tiers. This site uses:
- GitHub for storage
- Astro as a static site generator
- Sveltia as a CMS/content manager
- Cloudflare for hosting and deployment
How it works
The entire site is in a private Github repository. Pages, content, and blog entries are structure using Astro Content Collections, and a protected Sveltia lets me do most basic editing with browser-friendly Wordpress-like tools. Since all content is in Git, it is saved offsite in the cloud and versioned. An integration with Cloudflare watches for changes, and rebuilds the site when I publish any changes,.
The result is a completely static site, with no database, no complicated runtime processes, and no cost.
What to Expect Here
The Projects page will contain side projects ready enough to share with other people. Mostly (all, at the time of this writing) free, and mostly to do with Dungeons and Dragons. And then, some random thoughts here and there in the blog.
