Personal site and blog

fghisi.com.br

A bilingual blog about engineering and leadership, with a podcast, that also hosts the other projects.

The challenge

A personal site had to be fast, cheap to run and secure, publish articles in Portuguese and English, host a podcast and take in projects with their own look, without becoming a heavy system.

What was built

  • Articles in Portuguese and English, with a language switch on every page
  • Podcast with its own feed for podcast apps
  • Likes and moderated comments
  • A sharing image generated for each article
  • Automatic publishing on every approved change

Decisions that mattered

01

Static site

Pages are generated ahead of time and served as files. Fast, cheap and with almost nothing to attack. The server only handles likes and comments.

02

Its own look

The site has its own design system, black and white with a signal red, and each project has its own identity.

03

Analytics with consent

No analytics script loads before the visitor agrees, as Brazil's LGPD requires.
