Welcome

hi!!!!! Welcome to my personal website that has been in the making for 6 months. (mostly because I’ve been slacking off)

I go online as stopper, a nickname that was chosen by chance. I’m also a sole member of spikycube, a game/software development thingy that has yet to do something interesting.

Here I want to share some technical writeups and stories, mostly just because I feel like writing about it and also because I think it’s cool to document it all and share it with the world. I also try to appear on my YouTube channel to make… basically the same stuff, except in a different format.

Hopefully, there will be posts shortly after this website going live. Hopefully. If you’ve got an RSS reader, consider adding this website to it - links are at the bottom.

Website tech

Did I decide to use Hugo like a normal person? Eleventy?

Of course not! By the gravitational pull of Amos Wenger (fasterthanlime) I got the idea of making my website with a custom (written in Rust, of course, using Axum) CMS. And so I did, it being named victorian. It doesn’t have any fancy multi-tenant deploys or anything like that, but it does have automatic asset processing, revisions (so that the website is never in a half-broken state and can be rollbacked) and even janky code! I don’t think the last one is a positive though.

This website also uses Tailwind CSS and… that’s basically it. HTML + Liquid + Markdown and syntax highlighting with syntect. I might write more about it later (maybe some changelogs?) if I find some interesting reason to.
