The internet is giving us the ability to share ideas, knowledge and thoughts and so I'm writing articles on development-related topics from time to time. Grab the RSS-feed and stay updated!
I'm happy to receive any feedback both on my writing and the content itself. Feel free to send me a message on my twitter!
While I'm struggling more than ever to write the annual recap of the last year on my personal blog, I don't have that problem on this more tech-focused site. In terms of work and tech, 2020 was a demanding, but the outcome was very good.
When I decided to move to the Jamstack, I was sure that I wanted to build something with an API and since I'm quite familiar with WordPress and its API that was an easy choice. But what seemed to be an easy task has had its obstacles.

Many people prefer the so called dark mode of their operating system. My website now also comes with a dark version. It is automatically shown if you are in dark mode, but you can also toggle it by button.
Webmention is a webstandard that enables websites to notify each other when content is mentioned, liked or linked. This is my little journey how I have implemented them into my website.
Sapper is the application framework for Svelte. An easy way to build a server side rendered single page application. (Bingo!) WordPress is used as a backend for articles like this one. Here are some details.
