Website Rewrite in Zola

Backstory

Who dosent need a website? so a year ago I thought I’d create a website for myself, and I did. But guess what? it was in pure HTML and CSS (prolly from some github) repo. But i really felt a need to have a better looking website, in which i could showcase my projects, and maybe even write a blog.

So a frnd of mine Gasper(a very cool guy) suggested me to use Hugo and i was like “wts hugo?”. I did watched a pretty good,crisp and short video on how to use it and i was like “okay, i’ll give it a try”.

^ the goat video for hugo in my opinion.

and it turned out like this

I know its shit (sometime i even surprise myself with the results 🤡), but i was like “its the most my superior brain could do”. also im not at all motivated to do frontend and styling.

Entry of Zola

I was reading Gradience Autopsy: Rise and Set - Daudix (all love to gradience forever) and the looks caught my eye. and then i got to know about Zola. Zola to me is like hugo(XD idk how correct im) and with it i came to know about a guy named Daudix and his theme for zola named Ametrine tho acc to him its not stable but as I being a arch user do not care about stable things at all.

Ametrine is the greatest theme i have ever seen, its so simple to use and the result you are seeing it here, ofc i did copypasta from Daudix’s website too but yeah thats what open source is and as someone said already

“Original content is original only for a few seconds before getting old”
~Rule 69 of internet

So if u you want to make a website and ur not some geeky frontend wizard, i suggest u to use zola and ametrine.

Some Crazy Featuers and Styling

I love how it renders tables

and code blocks

#include <iostream>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

and these github like alerts

Conclusion

It’s been an interesting journey for sure; trying to use Hugo, losing my mind, regretting life choices, learning wierd stuff and using my 1 brain cell to think about how tf do i make it look good, burning out, coming back, learning more weird thing, procrastinating, coming back, rewriting half of the styles, and finally finding out i had no need for it (it hurts a bit 😭). But yep i guess now this would be my main website for a long time : )

Gald i found Ametrine and Daudix
