Colophon

This site is powered by a lightweight custom flat-file CMS.

Written using the Laravel PHP framework, it leverages the Sheets package to render Markdown files.

I use iA Writer to author / update posts and update /slash pages, using the built-in Micropub integration to publish directly to the site. These changes are then periodically pushed back to the GitHub repository via a simple Laravel scheduled command.

The whole thing is hosted on a small DigitalOcean Droplet¹ running Ubuntu 24.10 and PHP 8.3. Deploys are manually triggered by SSH-ing onto the server and running a simple deply.sh script.

The site uses Tailwind v3 and the system monospace font. Code syntax highlighting is performed server-side using the Shiki PHP library.
