How I Built My Website

Astro Template

My website is based on devolio, an Astro based blog template that offers blazing fast response and no-frill, minimalist layout. I then added a few more functionalities/cosmetic changes such as hover effects, cite buttons for publications and KaTeX support. The LaTeX rendering is powered by Rehype-katex plugin.

Hosting

This website is hosted on Github. You can follow this guide to deploy an Astro website on Github. Astro websites can be built locally on your own computer before deploying it on hosting services like Netlify or Vercel. This allows you to see what it looks like before publishing changes on the server. This building process is independent of the Github deployment, i.e., you can make a commit to Github and let it deploy on its own without building the website on your local devices in advance.
