Hello, world.
Mhm, this is the sixth version of my webpage. Every version that I’ve built up until now, I’ve neglected to update it with new posts after publishing because, well, they’re annoying to update; I end up trying to make these pages smartly with shiny new frameworks, gimmicks, and other tricks that would “make it easier for me to write this time around, surely!”
I’ve also realized that in my pursuit of “smart solutions,” I just end up tying myself down to more SaaS products. I think for the past half-a-decade now, my website has been exclusively hosted on Vercel? If I’m going to make good on my promise to slowly move towards self-hosting the tools I use on a day-to-day basis, I might as well start with my personal website.
So, here we are today with a static website built with Eleventy and hosting on a Hetzner cloud server. Nothing fancy, just markup languages and CSS. I already have a good feeling about this website with how lighter it feels. Let’s just hope that I can actually stick to consistently writing now, for my own sake.
Welcome to the brand new homepage of Marco Tan(gents).
I'll leave you with this borzoi Concorde.
