About this website

This website is made using Hugo, an open-source static site generator; the theme is Hugo-Theme-Monochrome by Kaiiiz (with a few modifications that I added). This theme uses kingdido999/zooming for zooming into images, krisk/Fuse - a lightweight fuzzy-search in javascript, PrismJS/prism for syntax highlighting, feathericons/feather - simply beautiful open source icons, atomiks/tippyjs for tooltips.

The typeface this website uses is the IBM Plex Sans (SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1 - Link). All the files are locally loaded thanks to google-webfonts-helper (Google Fonts). All the favicons were generated by favicon-generator.
