Tooling
To make this site, I had a lot of help. Without the work of over 1,385 people, this would not look the same. These are the tools they created.
Before I begin, I just want to say this is not for absolute beginners. Learning everything takes time, so don’t worry.
Anyway, onwards to the tooling:
And realistically, that’s all you need. I recommend downloading GitHub Desktop to make your life easier. If you have knowledge of HTML and CSS, that’s all you need to create a site.
But hey, this blog is complicated; I’m not going to write all of this code myself, am I? So, here are some more tools I used to make my life easier and the code simpler:
These are the tools I used. Sure, there are alternatives, but I found these to work well, and I’m now stuck in the ecosystem they provide. Cloudflare, Google Analytics, Measure, and Travis CI are not necessary, but they are useful tools you can add for the management of the site. All of these tools, except for your domain, are free, so why not?
Possibly next week, I’ll go over more of the setup and the structure of my site. Feel free to follow along. Technically, you could do it all yourself now by reading the documentation on all the tools and deploying your site, so if you’re a skilled developer, go ahead.
