Source code for sampan.me, my personal website, built with Eleventy.

• Make sure node is installed locally via nvm
• Run nvm use in the project root directory, to ensure the correct npm version is running
• Run npm install (or npm i if you're feeling flashy) in the project root to install the npm packages

To work on the site locally you need to do the following:

• Run npm start to generate your site and its styling
• Go to http://localhost:3000/ in your browser

Any changes you make will automatically appear in your browser. Note: any configuration changes (for example, changes to the .eleventy.js file) will require you to stop the process (⌃ + c) and start it again (npm start).

When you're finished, ⌃ + c stops your dev environment running.

• Run npm run build to build the site out into the /dist/ directory. This doesn't run a local development server or watch the /src/ directory for any SCSS or Eleventy changes
• npm run staging does a very similar thing to npm run build, the only difference being it overwrites the robots.txt file so that search engines won't index the site.

Do this with caution.

• Run npm update in the project root

Your site's pages live in /src/site/. There's an index.html file in there that you'll probably edit with the contents of your homepage. There's also an about.html page that is linked to from index.html; you'll probably want to delete this, but it's useful as an example.

Each page starts with front matter – that's the stuff between the two --- bits at the very start of the document. Front matter is written in YAML, which is easy to read and easy to write: a key (e.g. title), a colon (:) and a value (Hello world).

Every page needs a title and a permalink set in front matter.

This is my personal website. I use a lot of code fragments that smarter people than me have come up with, so it's only right to release my code open source as well. You're free to re-use parts of this codebase in your own site. Just don't copy the entire thing, replace the content and publish it. You know - be nice about it.

The content and design for this website was inspired by a number of people:

• tempertemper.net
• jonbarron.info
• stefanzweifel.dev/
• bdpedigo.github.io
• neurodata.io/about/jovo/

and the following tools/packages:

• 11ty
• Cloudflare
• Simple Icons
