Devlog

Overview

Devlog is a public developer journal where I document my daily progress, learning, experiments, and software engineering workflow. It is built as a Jekyll-powered GitHub Pages site with markdown-based entries, an archive page, dark/light mode, syntax highlighting, responsive layouts, and automation scripts for keeping notes clean and consistent. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Challenge

The challenge was to create a personal logging system that felt simple to write in but polished enough to publish. I wanted a workflow that worked well with Neovim, Markdown, Git, and LazyGit while still supporting clean navigation, archive browsing, readable code snippets, responsive design, and consistent formatting across entries. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Solution

I built the devlog using Jekyll, Markdown, SCSS, JavaScript, and GitHub Pages. The site includes custom layouts, shared includes, styled markdown tables, syntax-highlighted code blocks, a sticky navigation header, a typing effect on the homepage, and a dedicated archive page. I also added Python helper scripts for fixing navigation links, markdownlint formatting, wiki-link conversion, and adding Jekyll front matter. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Outcome

The result is a lightweight, public devlog that turns daily learning and project progress into a structured, searchable, and readable developer journal. It also shows my workflow style: terminal-first writing, Git-based publishing, automation scripts, and a clean static-site setup hosted on GitHub Pages. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
