Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to my new blog! âœĻ

I intend to write a bunch of things here like notes, guides or whatever. I will also be using it as a replacement for my severely neglected Carrd-hosted portal that was linking people to my pages.

While this is a personal site, I hope you’ll find something interesting in there. 💛

What’s new compared to my previous Carrd-hosted site
#

That new setup has quite a few advantages from a visitor’s point of view.

  • Blog area with articles that are open source 📰
  • Dark mode 🌚
  • Much faster loading speed / lighter on resources ⚡
  • Not affected by AWS downtimes ðŸ”Ĩ (lol)

And from my side, the changes are even more impactful.

  • No more scatered Notion pages that are impossible to find for others 📚
  • Text (Markdown) files as source for articles (alike Obsidian Publish (archive)) 📜
  • No more slow and clunky editor 🛠ïļ
  • URLs that follow standards1 🏷ïļ
  • Open source software stack2 🔍
  • Freedom of hosting platform 🚀
  • No more subscription fees ðŸ’ļ
  • Sanity preserved âĪïļâ€ðŸĐđ
In the end, we’re all winning and I’m motivated again to maintain this website. 🏆

If you wanna do a Hugo website too, I recommend checking out Christian Lampa’s tutorial on Hugo (archive) which has been the template for this website. 📚

Of course, feel free to check its source code and use it as inspiration for your own! âœĻ

In the meantime, I wish you a nice day and hope to see you again soon! Also, feel free to go check out my socials as I’ll be posting my new articles there too and maybe even my podcast “Listen with Camp”. ðŸŽķ


  1. Carrd doesn’t actually use /paths/ in web addresses for navigation, it has a sections (archive) concept that uses #ids which is not really a standard way of doing even if it works. ↩︎

  2. Hugo (archive) is an open source static site generator written in Go. ↩︎
