For some reason, I always limited myself to using either Prism.js or highlight.js for code highlighting, and recently I've learned of Shiki, a better (but much heavier) highlighter, and decided to try it out. It uses the same engine and grammars to parse code as VS Code, so it'd go really well with the VS Code theme I've been using!

In this post I'll compare TypeScript support specifically of the three mentioned highlighters and highlight some issues in them. I've also implemented switching between highlighters in my code blocks, so you'll be able to see how each one performs right here in this post!

This month I decided to make a website for myself. One, that's just right. One, that will stick. One, that I won't abandon like the rest of my side projects... There were many challenges I had to overcome, but, in the end, I finally did it!

In this post I'll just write down my thought processes and decisions. It's not a step-by-step tutorial to creating your own website, but instead a record of a journey. You can view the website's source code as you read through this post, to learn how some stuff works.
