Intro

Welcome to my blog! I took quite a long hiatus, but I thought it’d be a good idea to revive this website. I built this blog a few yeares ago using Jekyll combined with the YAT theme, hosted on GitHub Pages. Jekyll is a simple and performant static site generator that is built around Markdown, which makes it perfect for blogging.

Of course, you can’t blog without something to blog about. I expect to write a few different types of posts:

  1. Project Showcases: Posts demonstrating complete projects. Hopefully I can finish some in the next month (okay, year) so this blog can be populated.
  2. Devlogs: Posts following the development of a project, both to keep me accountable and as something to look back on and learn from.
  3. Thought Clarifications: Posts turning my most important thoughts into writing. Since after all:

“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.” — Gustave Flaubert

Features Showcase

This Jekyll-powered blog (using the YAT theme) supports a variety of features, which I’ve also customized a bit. Here are a few:

Code Highlighting

def hello_world():
    """A simple function to greet the world."""
    message = "Hello, World!"
    print(message)
    return message

# Call the function
hello_world()

$LaTeX$ Rendering

The blog supports $LaTeX$ rendering for mathematical expressions. A more complex example:

\[\frac{\partial^2 u}{\partial t^2} = c^2 \nabla^2 u\]

Blockquotes and Formatting

“The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe.” — Gustave Flaubert

You can also use bold text, italics, and strikethrough for emphasis.
