Random stats
I got the idea to build the random stats section from Jim Nelson's about page, he has more data shown but this much is more suitable for my blog.
Tech stack
Earlier, the website was built using WordPress but I rebuilt it using the 11ty static site generator. When I create a new post, I push it to GitHub, and it's automatically published via Netlify.
- 11ty SSG: For static site generation
- Netlify: For hosting the website
- sharp library: For optimizing images
- Markdown: For writing posts
- Listmonk: For sending newsletters
- SMTP2GO: For SMTP server
... and a lot of custom scripts for different things. You can also visit this page to see all the latest changes I am doing on the site.
Some moments
Here are some random photos of me and by me.
What's in the name "DeepakNess"?
Literally, nothing!
My name is "Deepak" and it's a very common name in India, and from somewhere I got the idea of making it "DeepakNess" to make it a bit more discoverable on the internet. Silly, but yes.
That's it.
