This is the current stable version of my personal website, located on my (apex) domain logangraves.com. It's running on a Heroku box.
Back- and front-ends written 'from scratch' using Flask and a SQLite database, and no CSS/HTML frameworks. Site doesn't use JS (see # JavaScript), does not contain any trackers, does not measure traffic and avoids collecting data wherever possible (all of this as of Jun 27 2023, since its inception a long time ago).
I did my best to prevent most common injection attacks and tested extensively. All user inputs are escaped. Let me know if you find a vulnerability (feel free to open an issue) and I will fix it; let's just say it's free incident response training if I get pwned!
(well not really, i can just turn the site off in heroku dashboard lol)
JS can do cool things. My site can do cool things without JS. I believe in a lightweight internet free of tracking, advertising, data-mining, and most of all, popups and the various annoyances I need to install entire browser extensions to prevent. On principle, therefore, I avoid using JS whenever that is possible. (All animations on this site are done with CSS only.)
I reserve the right to use JS for fun programming projects on here in the future though. If I do that, the JS part will be isolated from the main site and will only load when specifically visited.
To run the site locally:
- Clone the repo
- Open a
venvin the directory (optional but recommended) pip install -r requirements.txtto install dependencies in the venv- Make sure your port 5000 is open
- Run
app.py - View test site in browser (127.0.0.1:5000)
