One year ago I have stopped publishing articles on my blog. Since then I’m thinking reborn it with a new design.
The keywords for this were "simplicity" and "open source".
After some works, here it is ! I hope you will enjoy it.
Here is a lists of tools, libraires, etc. I used to rebuild this site.
@brad_frost and @dmolsen’s Pattern Lab is a wonderful tools that helps you to build an atomic design system.
A separate repo on Github hold « Pattern Lab » for this blog. This is were I build the styles and the modules. When these things are ready to ship, I transfer them in the Jekyll repo.
Last year, I went to a workshop in Zürich with @csswizardry. It was so instructive that I wanted to apply his technics. The stylesheets are heavily inspired by inuitcss.
Grunt runs everything in this project.
It compile/merge/minify the stylesheets, build Pattern Lab, export style to Jekyll etc.
Since Grunt appears in my development, I can’t live without it.
To be simple, Jekyll publish your markdown files as a website. That’s quite straightforward but that’s it.
The ability to put my hands in the HTML and styles easily is very important for me. With Jekyll, I can fix the frontend without pain. It's so simple and hackable.
The code need some cleaning and improvements. I will do that the followings month.
Improving the code is one of my main goal about this website.
I will try to publish more article about my interests in the futur.
