First time for everything
I’ve been wanting to create a small website to journal and share some random information.
I looked at a couple of solutions in order to do so :
I’ve built a standard React app with an ASP.NET Core backend for a previous startup project I worked on but it felt like too much just for the sake of deploying a small blog project. Hugo seems like a great fit, and is definitely something I should consider as it’s React based, but I don’t feel like learning a whole new framework (maybe I’m just too lazy?). Fable on the other hand is something I’m keeping my eyes on, and hopefully will eventually migrate to when I have more time as I’m really fond of the F# language. It will equally serve as a great project to apply more functional patterns in my day to day programming.
Finally Jekyll is the option I went for as it’s perfectly integrates with Github Pages, and there’s a simple tutorial. There’s a tiny learning curve, and I’m completely unaccustomed with the Ruby language, but after downloading a few themes, you quickly get the idea of how the website is setup. Most importantly, once everything is set in stone, you just have to add posts in a specific _folder in a markdown format. Bonus point, you even get \(LateX\) formatting with MathJax!
Schrödinger's Equation.
\[i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t} \Psi(\mathbf{r},t) = \left [ \frac{-\hbar^2}{2\mu}\nabla^2 + V(\mathbf{r},t)\right ] \Psi(\mathbf{r},t)\]Anyhoo, this is the first post to many more to come. Enjoy !
