Front Matter for a nice UX

June 7, 2024

I’m still learning how to work well with static site generators. Currently I would like to easily add images, perhpas integrate YouTube links, and have some more convenient UX. After some research (i.e., reading the docs), I came across Front Matter. That’s a VS Code extension bascically creating a convenient user interface for managing markdown files and media. See the attached screenshot. It’s this post being written. So far, the extension (and the setup) looks quite nice.

Styling Updates to the Blog

June 7, 2024

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.
