Welcome to my latest venture - the Stellar Branch Blog!

This project was started in an effort to brush up on my web development skills. Though, there is the fun side-effect of finally having a place to ramble about my projects. I sometimes finish projects, too! In college web development courses, I designed a few static sites by hand. There’s a big difference between writing a few HTML, CSS, and JS files - and building and deploying a blog. I’m excited for the journey!

Hugo was chosen as a Static Site Generator due to it being incredibly fast and very comfortable to use from within the command line. To host, I am using Cloudflare Pages. Pages supports a number of different build commands, including Hugo. This makes the deployment process exceptionally simple! Cloudflare Pages grabs the latest version of the site from a GitHub repo and builds it automatically. All that I need to do to create a post is connect, clone the repo, write a post, commit, and push - the rest is history. A future post on Hugo and the whole process of hosting this site may come out in the future.

By making said process so quick and painless for myself - I’ll actually take the time to write a new post in the first place! Creative outbursts are fleeting, thus spending time writing instead of fiddling with getting things to work is paramount.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post! Hopefully, there are many more to come. You can expect projects in vintage electronics, engineering, homelab equipment and software, art, music, and more.
