  1. vercel

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

    I can already feel some of you itching out to furiously type: Why not use Vercel / Whatever other company that does the same thing / whatever instead! :angry foaming face:

  3. Tailwind CSS

    A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.

    What are we going to do today? We're going to build a minimalist blog using Zola (built with Rust, btw), AWS CDK, Tailwind CSS, and a tiny bit of Typescript.

  4. Sass

    Sass makes CSS fun!

    This command will prompt a few questions, among them if you want to use SaSS compilation and if you would like to have a search enabled.

  5. Next.js

    The React Framework

    The setup I had before in this blog before was a NextJS / Vercel / Headless CMS combo. I hated it, way too many pieces for my use case, and didn't align with my preferred workflow.

  6. Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

    With that in mind, I quickly narrowed down to a few challengers Gatsby and Hugo being the usual suspects.

  7. aws-cdk

    The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code

    What are we going to do today? We're going to build a minimalist blog using Zola (built with Rust, btw), AWS CDK, Tailwind CSS, and a tiny bit of Typescript.
