One of the more major and intense projects is this website. I try to add a post every two to three weeks. The current layout is the second layout, after a major overhaul when I moved my site from Cactus to Jekyll.
The main reason for switching was the larger community and faster development of the Jekyll system. I preferred the Python based plugin-system over Jekyll’s Ruby-integration, but the perfect tool has yet to be invented. The deep integration of Liquid is very intuitive for people who are a little familiar with Ruby on Rails, but don’t want Rails on their servers and prefer a static website.
This site is far from finished, below is a list of items that are done and on my to-do list:
-
Create concise homepage with basic functionality
-
Add one project and blog post
-
Use HTTPS (TLS) for all request to the servers
-
Move to a CDN (actually, multiple CDNs are used)
-
Add a photo gallery
-
Optimised menu for both mobile and desktop usage {: .items-done}
-
Add CV
-
Add something about thesis {: .items-to-do}
