Architecture
The website is generated by a bespoke static website generator written using Shake. Isso is used for the static comments support. Website styling is done with SCSS and interactivity is added using JQuery.
The website is served by an Nginx web server hosted on a Digital Ocean VPS, behind a Cloudflare proxy for caching. Builds are done automatically using a self-hosted Webhook instance that triggers a Nix build.
