hello there

At 10:40PM on July 4, 2024, I decided to revive my personal website with this theme.

I had already been tinkering with new (free) Jekyll themes that support GitHub Pages for a few hours, but most of them were blog-focused and I wanted something with page support to put the cool things I’ve done.

Then, as I’m scrolling down, I come across no-style-please.

I love the simplistic look of it. It hasn’t been updated in 3 years so some of the gems are outdated, and I have to use an older version of GitHub Pages, but this totally satisfies my aesthetic and logistical needs.

My previous website used al-folio, but since changing GitHub usernames, the site had gone down since it was served at the github.io of my previous username. I struggled to get it back up with the same theme and the re-installation wasn’t easy. They recommend Docker containers which I don’t think is necessary for what looks like a simple website! They don’t recommend the bundle exec jekyll serve method of development anymore, either. But this theme does!

Anyways, I’m very happy with this new theme. I’ve ported over all the important things from my old site, added a few new things, and written this post. Hopefully I will have more things to share in the future.
