This is my personal blog, with random thoughts and guides around software development.

Until last year, I was using my Medium to post stuff. But, as I wanted to own my content and not have issues to post code snippets (Medium is horrible on this), I moved it to Gatsby + GitHub pages. I am still missing some stuff, such as a comment system, but this will be solved soon.

Having my own content in Markdown makes easier to transport it around, even to other systems in the future -- if Gatsby proves to be not that good. And, as it is ReactJS, it is quite easy to tweak the starter theme.

haha I was thinking about starting similar thread :) don't bother if I repost from other thread again? https://lukaszkups.net My DeusEx-game-inspired personal website (love the game, especially from the design side so decided to take an inspiration from it) Will soon release tool I've used to generate this website (yes, another static site generator ;) )

:+1: for the design, guy! Cyberpunk done well. Just needs a 90s feel "Metadyne" style corporation name slapped across it and a neon/rain page and I'll never leave.

I am long overdue for an update and I never got around to making it mobile friendly. https://www.michaelzaporozhets.com My girlfriend says it's boring but I'm a still a fan.

It is boring, but I'm also a fan. A little streak of colour somewhere and some more interesting content should keep engagement levels up?

Interesting. Threads like this can also be used for profiling, tracking and analysis of HN readers and active users.

Well, it's a double-edged sword I guess.

P.S. Also there is nothing wrong with self-promotion, assuming you are not shamelessly plugging in irrelevant, low-quality content.

EDIT: P.S.

Great thread idea!

I'm a fan of static sites, Hugo in particular. Went from WP on Apache in early 2000s, to Drupal/Nginx to Hugo/Nginx more recently. I edit the sites locally and rsync the files with an alias when done. Saves messing about with a CMS. Which I've done enough of in my time. Quick and cheap way to host a bunch of fast sites.

Freelance + blog site using Kube framework/Hugo. After looking at all the great sites here, it definitely needs some colour, a new favicon, some images of yours truly and update of services offered. But before that lot gets done, it's at:

This other one is experimental, the better looking of the two, probably the home for courses I hope to put out this year:

> https://objectivelyfun.com/

It uses a customised Hugo theme - related posts, new sidebar, new post layout, new post types, improved meta stuff etc.

Keep sharing - it's great for ideas.

Depends how involved in HN you are already. I have already submitted links to my sites a bunch of sites over the last few years so figured it makes no difference at this point.

Looks like you have too, so what are you waiting for :D
