Haste Makes Waste
A lightweight blog which leverages Jekyll and Netlify to generate a static site from a Github repo. Neatly sidesteps hosting costs.
Find it in production here.
Tech Stack
- Jekyll v4.2.0+ static site generation.
- Ruby v2.5.0 (though the bulk of the project is CSS)
- Ruby Gems for package management.
- Netlify as a serverless backend.
Setup
- Install prerequisites.
- Clone repo to your machine.
- Fire the new directory up in the IDE of your choice. (I'm partial to Atom.)
- Build the project on a local server. (In PowerShell, accomplish this using
bundle exec jekyll serve). - View local changes in-browser at
http://localhost:4000/.

Contact
Everything is @EVHaste's fault.
The irony of listing contact details in the readme of a project which itself contains a contact page is not lost on me.
