Oh, hello there! You're behind-the-scenes at victoria.dev.

For more details on how I built the site, see About this site.

Hashnode serves as the CMS for this blog, unless I publish Markdown files here directly.

The repository victoriadrake/hashnode-blog is updated whenever I make a new post on Hashnode. The workflow in that repo pushes the new post to the content directory here.

I previously tried using Collected Notes as my CMS, but it doesn't seem to be reliable.

A GitHub Action manages continuous deployment by triggering a Netlify build. The site content and theme are Git submodules.

I created another GitHub Action, link-snitch, to regularly check my site for broken links. It uses my Hydra project, a standard-library-only Python program that crawls a site for broken links.

I use the pre-commit framework to run markdownlint-cli2 to keep my content tidy.

A self-documenting Makefile helps me work efficiently without having to remember a bunch of command-line flags.
