out of curiosity, if the blog post itself an org-mode output? if yes then : 1. What tools did you use for the images? 2. That's a neat sidebar. custom ya-snippets? 3. Would love to take a leaf out of your dotfiles/.emacsd

Totally love the aesthetics of the page.

Thanks. The blog is generated by Hugo from org using ox-hugo[1]. The sidebar is part of the Hugo Cactus theme[2], which I modified a bit for my use.

The "flow charts" were made in Inkscape. No custom (ya)snippets are in use. (My Emacs configuration is linked to on the home page of the blog, but there isn't anything particularly interesting about it.)

If you do find out how the page is translated from org to the html/css we see, could you please let me know? I agree about the page, I think it looks great.
