Third party code used for this website

Jekyll

Description: Jekyll is a static site generator. You give it text written in your favorite markup language and it uses layouts to create a static website.

Link: https://jekyllrb.com

Why I use it: I want to be able to write my posts in Markdown and have it rendered into a great looking website - Jekyll does that, plus a ton more. Great stuff!

Poole

Description: The Jekyll Butler. A no frills responsive Jekyll blog theme

Link: https://github.com/poole/poole

Why I use it: For the first version of my blog, I wanted a lightweight and nice looking theme - Poole was exactly that. I have added a bit of my own code on top, but Poole remains the core theme of my website.

Bootstrap

Description: The world’s most popular framework for building responsive, mobile-first sites.

Link: https://getbootstrap.com

Why I use it: Because I want a front page with a special layout, but I suck hard at flexbox. It will be switched with raw flexbox eventually, as Bootstrap comes with a ton of CSS unrelated to layout, but hey, it works for now. Someday, somehow, it will be replaced.

Prism

Description: A lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind.

Link: https://prismjs.com/

Why I use it: The built-in syntax highlightning in Jekyll turned out to be too basic for my needs. Prism offers much more customization and many plugin, such as line numbers and copy-to-clipboard.

clipboard.js

Description: A modern approach to copy text to clipboard.

Link: https://clipboardjs.com/

Why I use it: Enables copy-to-clipboard functionality in code highlight blocks.
