Creating this Website
This website was developed as a fork of the fernfolio-11ty-template. While visually similar, my pure-VS Code development philosophy necessitated a number of changes from the original Netlify CMS (GUI-based) approach. I also added scripts to improve staging and CI/CD pipelines, along with other missing web necessities like a webmanifest, sitemap generation, and smarter desktop/mobile logic.
Like the original, pages are made with a combination of Nunjucks and markdown, with Eleventy as my static-site-generator. To get a bit more control in my blog posts, I implemented some additional syntactic sugar to the markdown I use. I find that this tech stack to be a good sweet spot of granularity, and is intuitive for me.
For privacy (due to a sloppy commit history), I don't have the source code of this website public. However, I may eventually release a template version. Until then, feel free to contact me and I'm willing to share build scripts etc!
