Evin's Blog!

My blog contains more time-sensitive content as well as projects that aren't major enough to be put on my more public evinjaff.github.io page.

This blog is 100% free range and open-source with the only third-party dependency being pandoc for markdown element conversion to HTML (although I may write my own converter later for fun). Everything else uses a base Python3 installation and is hosted via GitHub pages. It is also fully automated via GitHub actions to render and publish the blog upon the main branch being updated.

This blog is currently hosted via GitHub pages, but I may eventually selfhost this blog and buy a domain.
