I have been wanting to refresh my site for a while now.
I have even posted a few times on LinkedIn and X offering to pay if somoene was interested in taking a stab at it. I am sure this will put people off from reading my blog just stating this, but I decided to take a stab at some design changes with AI and some minor site improvements that I have always wanted to do.
If you think the site looks much worse, [please let me know](mailto:farid.m.zakaria@gmail.com).
Some small improvements and quality-of-life enhacements:
- A small
/nix/store
entry in the footer to showcase the site is built with Nix. - A
Jekyll pluginthat automatically creates source-sets for the images I use in my blog posts. - A
Jekyll pluginto create a short content hash for the stylesheets to avoid the browsers caching stale CSS. - A
Jekyll pluginthat generates a little curved line for the masthead that is thesha256
of the page. - Redesigned the layout to allow side-bar content.
Look at me! I’m sidebar content I will undoubtedly abuse.
I continued to try and give it my personal flair to avoid it looking like AI-slop but 🤷
