Ask HN: Do you have a colophon for your personal website?

13 points by susam 40 days ago | 7 comments

A colophon is a page or section (typically in a footer) of a site that describes how the site is made, with what tools, supporting what technologies, and often published on personal sites at a top level /colophon page. (Source: https://indieweb.org/colophon)

Do you maintain a colophon for your website? If so, please share it here. It will be nice to see how other people from the HN community set up their websites, what technologies they use and what choices they have made.

If you do not have a colophon page, please feel free to share the details directly in a comment.

My personal website [1] and blog [2] both use Lume [3]. I like Deno! [4] :D

Never thought of doing a colophon, but I do have a human.json file [5] for the same-named protocol [6].

looking back I do feel i've been oversharing things but here goes nothing.

Mine uses Jekyll with a heavily customized Just-the-Docs theme. The other notable technology used on it is KaTeX, which I use to pre-render all the math formulas to HTML when generating the site.
