This is a repository for my personal blog which is written with the following technologies:

How it’s built
Angular
As mentioned above, this blog is built using the Angular framework. I always keep this project up-to-date with the latest version of Angular.
Code-style wise, I use Single File Component (aka *.component.ts files only) as much as possible. However, there are a
couple of components that have rather complex HTML/Styles that I choose to keep in separate files.
Shared components and feature components (routed) are built using Single-Component-as-Module (SCAM) approach. You’ll find these components contain the components themselves as well as their modules.
Reactivity is achieved with AsyncPipe and Observable.
TailwindCSS
This project uses TailwindCSS for stylings. Nothing too special here, I just like using TailwindCSS because it is easy to use. I also keep TailwindCSS as up-to-date as possible.
Scully
Scully is THE Static-site Generator for Angular ecosystem. It is easy to use and extensible. In fact, I build my own Scully Notion Plugin to integrate Notion with Scully.
Notion
All my blogs are written in Notion. There is a custom Scully plugin that will fetch (possible thanks to the recent Notion Developers API) the blog posts and generate the static site for them.
The experience is nice because I can write my blogs from any device and Grammarly can help with my English as well.
CI / CD
CI/CD for this project is quite complex. At the highest level, there are three separate moving parts:
- Angular build
- Scully build
- Notion blogs
The relationship between these three are: Angular build + Notion blogs → Scully build → Deploy
To somewhat handle a sane amount of rebuild, I incorporate the following flow:
-
Angular files list:
package.json angular.json tailwind.config.js src/**/*.* -
Scully file:
scully.tnc-scully.config.ts
