Victoria.dev is wholly created and owned by me, Victoria Drake. I research, write, illustrate, design, code, and ship everything you’ll see here.
Static site generator
I use a static site generator, Hugo, to build the site, and GitHub Actions to continually deploy to GitHub Pages.
It’s all open source, so feel free to see for yourself!
Theme
The theme based on my Hugo theme, Quint.
Illustrations
I draw the all the illustrations and comics you’ll find in my articles using my iPad.
Searching
I use Lunr to implement the search feature you see on my blog page. Here’s how.
My development tools
I run a GitHub Action I wrote, link-snitch, to ensure all the links on my 145 pages are working. It uses Hydra, my multithreaded Python site-crawling link checker.
Besides creating new posts, a static site like this one is low-maintenance. Most of my development needs are met with a self-documenting Makefile.
There may or may not be secret pages and easter eggs.
