Tools that built this site

For over three decades I have built websites for myself, family, friends, colleagues and institutions. Obviously, much has changed, and more will change. Some might be interested in the tools I am currently using:

• MacOS as my preferred operating system
• 🧪 Jekyll (version 4.4.1) for the site, after porting from DreamWeaver
  • A static content management tool with all advantages of a JamStack (in fact, Jekyll started it all)
  • One major advantage: many of my pages have similar structure, allowing to generate them programmatically (for instance, Jekyll’s version number above is added programmatically.)
  • I’m no longer using themes to avoid (well, reduce) dependency hell.
• Bootstrap to convert this site to responsive (started 2024-08)
• GraphicConverter for all my graphics needs
• BBedit for editing the markdown files (like the one you’re reading now) and all plain-text editing
• ☕️ Cappuccino for all my online programs
• Xcode as IDE for programming in Cappuccino
• ForkLift for direct FTP, even allows direct editing
