πŸ—Ώ pipress and new website πŸŽ‰

πŸ‘‹ Hey, welcome to my new website! After (literally!) almost a decade, I’ve decided to start a new blog to share my random thoughts online.

This site is super simple β€” just minimal Markdown and raw assets, hosted on GitHub (pi0/pi0.io).

I wrote a tiny web server (πŸ—Ώ pipress ~120 lines of ugly code) that fetches and renders content directly from GitHub’s raw assets and used πŸ›‹οΈ v0 for a starter design (Hey, don't judge me, it has been a long time since I've written any CSS!)

The idea is simple: turn any URL serving raw Markdown, HTML, and assets into a live website. You can already use πŸ—Ώ pipress to host your own site β€” with any design or content!

Currently, pi0.io is hosted on a Raspberry Pi 5 (Docker/Bun) at my πŸ‡³πŸ‡± ~home and tunneled through Cloudflare β€” mainly to protect against DDoS attacks. But the whole setup can run on virtually any hosting, thanks to the underlying server (πŸ’₯ srvx).

I’ll likely upgrade the pipress stack soon with the latest versions of ⚑️ h3 and βš—οΈ nitro, which I’m working on. The core idea β€” separating renderer and content β€” will stay. It's fun to see how each step can make development life easier (or rather harder/more complex ?!).

Most importantly, I finally have a simple place to WRITE. πŸŽ‰

🟒 Commit, Push, Instantly Live. Easy peasy.
