janaka.dev

Personal blog by Janaka Abeywardhana. Thoughts and notes on web technology, software development, and technical product managenement.

The main version at https://janaka.dev is hosted traditionally. A mirror at https://ipfs.janaka.dev is hosted on IPFS. A key reason for creating this site and using a static site generator was to host on IPFS as a learning exercise (web3). I've not managed to get IPFS hosting working reliably. So for now web2 hosting until I figure it out.

Forked from Gatsby blog starter. Help and inspiration from overreacted.io by Dan Abramov. Syntax theme based on Sarah Drasner's Night Owl with small tweaks. Copied from overreacted.io.
