This blog was created using the eleventy-base-blog v8 as a starter template, it later evolved and changed SSG to Zola, but the concept is still similar.

Inspirations and thanks

I took huge inspirations for the style and general philosophy behind this site from Simone Silvestroni and his Minutes to Midnight website. My website content looked very similar to some older iteration of his website (this page was almost identical, but I really liked how it was layed out by Simone). In general Simone's blog was an inspiration both for the design of this site and the ideas I will try to uphold while improving my blog.

Silvia Maggi, Aleksandr Hovhannisyan, and Jan Boddez for some design inspiration and actual content ideas for presentation pages.

As for eleventy itself, Kevin Powell's video was probably the most useful thing I had while approaching this SSG for the first time, together with Jaydan Urwin's Eleventy Crash Course. Other super helpful examples I had were those gathered from The 11ty Bundle.

As of March 2024, this blog uses Zola as SSG, and while the above credits still hold true, it is only fair to add some more:

David Lapshin, creator of the Duckquill theme. I learned a lot about Zola and web design by looking at the Duckquill (and his personal website) code, I also took inspiration for the post footer (actually most of the code).

Vincent Prouillet (aka Keats) for creating Zola and for the Even theme, which inspired the taxonomies single page template and style.

Marco Neumann for this image shortcode that I adapted to my needs (you can see it in the forgejo repo).

Bat's catppuccin themes for the textmate themes used for code syntax highlight here.
