How this blog is made


This blog has been through a lot. Including my other site, https://nicholasficara.dev, I’ve gone through 13 distinct rewrites.

I’m currently on Astro. I’ve updated this post way too many times. I’m just going to leave it at that for now. Aaaaaaaaaaaa

Okok here is a quick history:

  • Eleventy
  • Manual string substitution
  • React
  • Preact
  • Svelte
  • Pure HTML + CSS with components
  • Astro

At some points in history, I had done more rewrites than blog posts.

One day I’ll release my own javascript framework and fix everything.
