This repo powers arjun.is. Built with Eleventy and hosted on Vercel.

npm install
npm run build

For local setup, run the following (fetchPosts.js fetches posts from GitHub Issues). Delete scripts/.cached-issues.json to force a re-fetch.

node scripts/fetchPosts.js
npm run serve

Pre-requisites for local:

• Setup a PAT in GITHUB_TOKEN=xyz in .env. This token needs to have permissions to access issues on this repo
• (Note to self) While committing changes, don't stage .md changes in .gitignore

The current version supports two sources of content (blog posts): markdown files and GitHub Issues. Effectively, this makes GitHub Issues the CMS for my blog. My intent was to move over to GitHub Issues completely, but given that I had existing posts in markdown, I went ahead with this approach (instead of neater? approaches that build on 11ty magic.)

• All tags are passthrough — except ones prefixed with meta:
• For example
  • meta:internal for issues related to site fixes
  • meta:published for issues that are published
