💬 GitHub Discussions

I use GitHub Discussions to track breaking changes for posts which you can use to report issues.

🧭 Uses

• ⚡️ SvelteKit for the framework and prerendering pages ahead of time making it blazingly fast 🔥

• The project is hosted on Vercel

• The tests use Playwright for end-to-end testing and Vitest for unit tests

• I use Buttondown for the newsletter when I remember to send one 🤭

• I'm using Supabase to track post views

• I use social-share-images to create dynamic social share images (I plan on using @vercel/og instead)

• For analytics I use Vercel Web Analytics

📜 Setup

These instructions are mostly if you want to learn how the code works but in general I don't accept pull requests that aren't related to posts but you can always raise an issue.

The project uses 📦️ pnpm but any package manager should work.
