Links

Here are some links, apps and resources that I like and use on a regular basis. I hope you like them too!

My stack (how I run this website)

  • Jekyll - This is the static site generator (SSG) that I use to generate the content for this web site. I write my articles as text files in a Git repository, and use Jekyll to build all the HTML pages you see here.

  • Pico CSS - My blog theme is my own customisation of Pico, a minimal CSS framework for semantic HTML. Pico styles all the standard HTML elements nicely, so you don’t have to worry about remembering complicated classes and structures. Excellent for those of us who weren’t blessed with design skills and it means that I can keep all these pages very lightweight and fast.

Productivity

  • 1Writer (iOS app) - This is such an awesome note-taking app, and I would be absolutely lost without it. Read and write plaintext files to your Dropbox, with smooth syncing functionality, Markdown support, dark mode and lots more.
