for some time i have been wanting to organize the multitude of my affairs into one place to keep myself from forgetting parts of my experience and/or identity. i also like inventing bicycles, so for my little personal page i’m writing a custom website with Rust. it is inspired by fasterthanlime blog and countless others minimalistic, hacky, wonderful blogs and personal pages.
features
- the site is an axum app with askama templates
- for the project collection i keep everything in markdown and render it into html on the fly.
this involves some hacky extensions, as well as:
- code blocks with highlighting by highlight.js:
def greet(name: str): print(f"hello, {name}") - latex-style math with MathJax: $\displaystyle \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{x^2} dx$
- per-project media files:
- code blocks with highlighting by highlight.js:
- projects have a tag system with a simplistic faceted classification
- photo gallery is a “diy instagram” that i made to host my photography. it even has a subtle dynamic color background made from a photo’s color palette!
