Styling Updates to the Blog

After.. uff.. two more hours of tweaking this blog it’s in a shape I like.

What has changed:

  • Little web details like the favicon and not using thirdparty fonts were done.
  • I’ve changed the font to something calm instead, that is for Apple devices the standard fonts, and for everybody else something sans-serif. Namely: font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Roboto, sans-serif;. I like it. Don’t let me know if you don’t like it.
  • The previous layout of the posts list and also some things around that have been simplified.
  • I thought about removing the footer, but then again, be fair and mention the sources 🙌 I’ve added a link to the fork of the theme in case somebody else wants to use it. Adjust it as you wish.

The workflow with this JAMstack is pretty nice:

  1. Change something in the code, push it.
  2. Wait 10 seconds.
  3. Check how it looks in production.

Actually, thinking of it, I don’t have to test in production (although who doesn’t like doing that?), but a simple hugo serve will run Hugo on http://localhost:1313/, which is nice. It even has live updates, as I’ve just seen 🚀

Okay, that’s enough for today.
