About This Site

This website is created in Markdown, a simple text editing language which can be directly converted to HTML, using StackEdit as a Markdown editor and to facilitate uploading to GitHub Pages. See my repo here for the website code (all pretty much auto-generated).

Pros:

• Super simple, clean layout with a mobile-friendly design
• Markdown makes it easy to edit pages, and StackEdit makes it easy to add/remove pages
• Can edit from anywhere without downloading the whole website locally (like a normal GitHub repo) due to StackEdit
• GitHub saves an exhaustive log of every published edit

Cons:

• StackEdit is sometimes buggy, or won’t work for a day or two
• Sometimes have to hack around StackEdit vs. GitHub Pages errors (i.e., have to .gitignore certain dirs/files auto-created by StackEdit)
• Markdown pages are too simple for some’s taste
