About this blog
This personal blog is a collection of my public projects. They are all non-commercial and the things I write about are randomly choosed. Starting a blog in the 2020s where everyone is consuming information and communicating via social media platforms is kinda strange, but I do not try to find an audience. I liked the nostalgic feeling that I get when I read really old and well-cared blogs of people who just do their thing without chasing attraction.
So I started writing without any purpose and maybe someone aside the webscrapers of this era will stumble upon this and feel the same way I do.
Does this blog use analytics?
No, currently it is not using analytics. The only thing I track for fun is how many times my project-repositories are cloned and similar statistics.
I use the Github-API to fetch the data daily and save it in a separate public repository github-repo-stats.
The plots are embedded in this website by referring them using this shortcode: {{ plotly json="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/USERNAME/github-repo-stats/main/plots/clones.json"}}.
If you want to do so too, just fork that repo, follow the instructions and change the USERNAME in the shortcode.
How is this website build?
Its a static website created via Hugo. You can find the source-code and theme on my GitHub. The plotly-graphs are loaded via javascript as locally-stored json-files. I created a jupyter-notebook2markdown-converter that fits the needs of this webblog to render this interactive graphs on this static website.
Are you currently working on specific projects?
I have to admit: Even if I work on projects, I do not blog really often about them due to many different reasons and excuses. Because of this I implemented some automation for my github-statistics which shows more details then the usual metrics like forks, stars etc. So if you want to know if I am currently working on projects, just take a look on this plot. It should show the long-term github-commits-per repository of public and private repositories.
Are you open for contribtions?
Honestly I dont have experience maintaining (personal) repositories in colaboration with other coworkers. Anyway, feel free to open issues, ask questions or create some pull-requests. Check out the repositories themself or get an overview from this daily updated issue-type-treemap:
