This is the repo powering my tech blog / personal site.
It's written to be hosted on a .is TLD and have URLs be human readable (josh.hawkins.is/a-writer). You can easily fork this repo and add your own content to achieve the same effect!
It's written entirely in JavaScript and utilizes Next.js for server-side rendering with React.
If you're unimpressed, I wrote this in a bit of spare time between more fun and exciting open source projects, and mostly because I was about to graduate and seek full time employment. I was perfectly happy with the old blog, but I figured a passionate web dev should at least make their own website as a demo, not just use a static site generator. Maybe that's silly, but this site serves to tick the box and not much more. It's simple, works, houses my blog, and that's about all I ever wanted from it. Feel free to look at my other projects if you're interested to see something cool or where my passion really shines!
