dev details 🙄
Built using hugo after I got extremely fed up with Gatsby's hundreds of dependencies failing to install correctly. Now there's one Docker file to render the site and no dynamic content dependencies!
For future me: checkout the scripts in justfile to do what you need.
The blog is hosted with Netlify. It is rendered via the Netlify hugo integration as defined in netlify.toml. The HUGO_VERSION should match the version of the Docker image in the justfile.
