My personal blog

This blog is a small diary of the things I learn while on this intimidating journey through web development land.

I write about technical stuff but sprinkle in a few words about project management from time to time, all decorated with some very nerdy humor.

I developed the platform myself by using a Laravel installation, the posts are stored as markdown files and version controlled. I needed to do quite a few customizations with the Markdown parser, so I wrote a post about that.

Installation

To install this page clone the repository first.

git clone [email protected]:simonvomeyser/simple-web-dev.git

Next, you need to install the dependencies.

composer install
npm install

Create your env

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Misc

The posts are generated from markdown files and can be cached for production via the command:

php artisan cache-posts
