You've probably noticed quite a few things that are different about +this site. First and foremost, the theme. Gone is the harsh black-on-white theme +that was hell on the eyes, especially in a projection booth. I'm rather partial +to the [gruvbox] color scheme, so I figured taking the dark theme and applying +it to my site as well as my editor would be a good idea. + +I've also overhauled the backend. This site is now running a `warp.rs` server on +the backend. The source can be found [here][src]. + +This has led to some interesting issues. By far the biggest one was +footnotes[^1]. I'm using [comrak] as my markdown parsing library, which +correctly implements the CommonMark spec. Footnotes are, unfortunately, not part +of that spec, so they're an extension, along with superscript and a few others. +Since footnotes are displayed in superscript, I thought that both extensions had +to be enabled. This led to quite a long month of not being able to figure out +why my footnotes weren't being parsed correctly, but as it turns out it was +these two extensions fighting. + +[^1]: Hey, you found one! + + +[gruvbox]: https://github.com/mohertz/gruvbox +[src]: https://git.carathe.dev/~muirrum/site +[comrak]: https://github.com/kivikakk/comrak |
