It was long back when I had thought of having my own website. At that time the only name you could hear was Wordpress, I had tried that but I didn't like it.

Then there was Google blogspot, I had created a website on it, and was using it for my notes reference during college, then I had come across github pages where we can host a static website for free from our repository, how cool is that.

Then after looking for other people blogs and portfolio, I came to know about Jekyll themes as it had good compatibility with github pages, I gave it a shot and used it for about a year.

Still something was missing, I had promised myself that I will be posting my blogs regularly on it, but I didn't.

A friend of my was into web development, I had asked him to suggest me some good web framework he had suggested Vue, React and Angular. After doing our usual comparision online I decided to go with React.

It was good, I created another version of my website using React and hosted on github pages, it was with those fancy Bootstrap components that changed according to device screen, I used that for a year.

The issue I faced with React website was that its node dependencies were getting deprecated quickly and github was asking me quite frequently to update the versions of dependencies, after getting frustated I decided to create another version of my personal website using Angular.

This one was by far the best version of my personal website yet, individual components with good management and deployment flow, but still I hadn't started my blog writing, it was just a static website decribing myself, my project and resume, I decided to have a minimal website which I can edit to the core with simple edit and deployment.

Then I created this present version which you are seeing, I just contains .html and .css and images, no javascript.

This website works on all browsers on all devices, and is light on computer resources. If you want to read some rant about a lightweight website here is a link

I am thinking of owning a domain and hosting my site on a hosting server, but github pages have been good so far.
