Web of Tomorrow

A personal website of Jake Hickenlooper.

This was initially a good website to try out structuring and organizing the resources needed for a much larger website. I spent time looking into design systems, using third-party resources for showing code with proper syntax coloring, and a rather cool way of using Chill to add content from other places. Now it is mostly just a single static page that is actually typed out.

Technology Stack

  • ImageMagick
  • Tesseract OCR - The scanned typewritten documents are processed automatically by tesseract so the img elements get the proper alt content. It's not perfect, but that is fine.
  • HTML - The HTML is created by using Chill with Jinja2 templates.
  • CSS - The CSS is organized to be maintainable by following SUIT CSS and ITCSS conventions.

Summary

  • It's beneficial to have a personal website that you can do whatever you want with.
  • My sense of humor is probably too subtle?
