About the blog

This is the third iteration of my blog, now running on the Hugo static site generator. Previously I was using Ghost which I still think is a good choice in general. I slowly started to dislike it as they moved from pure Markdown based posts to their own — more powerful — post format. This made working with my Markdown editor of choice, iA Writer, hard and I ended up with multiple versions of the same post and no way to keep a source of truth or sync back my changes that I did in the Ghost CMS.

The theme I’m using is based on Ink and I tweaked it with with custom layouts / CSS to make it work for my use case. Full credit to Kailash Nadh, thanks!
