# Colophon.

How this site is built.

Building the site

-   **[Eleventy](https://www.11ty.dev)** turns the Markdown and Nunjucks templates into a static site.
-   **[Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com)** styles the pages. [PostCSS](https://postcss.org) processes it and strips out anything unused.
-   **[webpack](https://webpack.js.org)** bundles the CSS and JavaScript.

Reading it elsewhere

-   **[RSS feed](https://paulkane.co/links/feed.xml)** for the [links](https://paulkane.co/links/) page.
-   **Markdown:** add `.md` to any page's address, such as [/work.md](https://paulkane.co/work.md), for a plain Markdown version. [/llms.txt](https://paulkane.co/llms.txt) lists them all.
-   **[Turndown](https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown)** converts each page to Markdown when the site is built.

Photos

-   **[Eleventy Image](https://www.11ty.dev/docs/plugins/image/)** resizes each photo and converts it to AVIF and WebP.
-   **[PhotoSwipe](https://photoswipe.com)** provides the full-screen photo viewer.

Hosting
