How I created this website

TLDR: with time, fustration, and LLMs

Essentially, I chose the most reputable and popular tools that offer services. I wanted to code my own website, and I didn't really have an encentive (or money, really) to pay a subscription, so services like WordPress and Squarespace were out of the equation. I would love to have access to Webflow, but I don't have the money to pay for it. So, here are the various tools I used to create this site:



VS Code for code

Visual Studio Code is simply the popular choice for code editors. It offers plenty and extra plugins to create a functional editing tool.

I used the Live Server extension to test my code. I have other added extensions, but you should probably seek other refrences from a more reputable source for tools.



Cloudflare for launch

Cloudflare has a domain name service which allows you to purchase a domain for a really low price. It's also one of the more reputable SAAS companies and provides a lot of features for free, including:



Github for storage

Github is one of the most popular places and one of the more well known services to store code.



Atkinson Hyperlegible for font

What's the point of having text on a website if you can't read it? Atkinson Hyperlegible is a font created by the Braille Institute that is designed to be easy to read even for people with low vision quality.



LLMs for troubleshooting

Large language models is the best thing to happen for a while. I created this website and troubleshooted code largely with the help of LLMs. I used GPT-3.5 and the newer GPT-4 to troubleshoot code and help me learn.
