Show Notes

02:25 - Relaxed fit development

Not concerned with it being perfect
Will act as a loose digital garden, so it needs to be flexible
Keep my talks and podcast appearances somewhere

04:40 - The stack

Svelte / Sapper
CSS variables
Static generation with markdown
No API
Hosted on Netlify

08:15 - Why?

I dropped that db life in 2015 and never looked back
I’m a developer - markdown is good for me
I like a playground for ideas, so the new site throws out any idea of formality and dives into being a playground for myself.
Full page animations. Orchestration. Fully SSG.
Code is painless to add to — adding a blog post is as easy as creating a markdown file
