# About the site <i class="em-svg em-gear"></i>
|
|
|
|
This is already the second version of my website and like the version before it was built with love and a cherry-picked selection of open source tools <i class="em-svg em-raised_hands"></i>
|
|
Although, this time I exchanged some of the tools just to try something new.
|
|
I decided to build the site using the popular [Hugo](http://gohugo.io/) to keep the code cleaner and to use [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) conveniently, although a simple static HTML page would have done a good job as well.
|
|
Responsiveness is done using the flex grid of [Picnic CSS](https://picnicss.com/), which was also responsible for the blog button in the upper right corner. I love its simplicity!
|
|
The main font I'm using is called [Fira Sans](https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/) from Mozilla. The font I'm using for my name is called [Learning Curve](https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Learning-Curve-Pro), while the icons I used for my social links come from [Font Awesome](http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/). After trying the system's emojis first, I decided to force the same emojis on all platforms by using [Emoji CSS](https://emoji-css.afeld.me/).
|
|
The page is hosted in the Netherlands on a [Debian](https://www.debian.org/) server from [Liteserver](https://liteserver.nl/) running [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/), which is probably the easiest HTTP server to configure <i class="em-svg em-smiling_face_with_3_hearts"></i>
|
|
Those weird shapes are done using a CSS clip path with polygons, see the corresponding part of my CSS [here](https://git.schro.fi/schrofi/schro.fi/src/branch/master/assets/sass/main.sass#L55).
|
|
In case the website looks weird to you, it could be because your browser sadly does not support that feature yet.
|
|
Also the rest of the changes to this website are done in public, you can find the source code [here](https://git.schro.fi/schrofi/schro.fi)
