    Project mention: My blog doesn't need quality, it needs to look like it's from the 90s | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-06

    Perhaps "polish" or "a sleek, modern UI" would have been slightly better wording on my part in regards to the look, but otherwise I'm quite happy that I settled on Grav and also the idea of versioning everything in Git, alongside a CI/CD pipeline, instead of one long lived instance on the server.

    Grav is pretty cool: https://getgrav.org/
