Hello, Andergrove

· by Andergrove Software

Andergrove Software is a small home for two things: short writing about building software, and a handful of fast, private browser tools you can use without signing up for anything.

This first post doubles as a worked example — it's the source behind the rendered page at /posts/hello-world/, so it shows exactly how a post moves from Markdown to a live page.

The whole site is static

There's no server, no framework, and no build-time magic on the client. Every page is plain HTML, CSS, and a little modern JavaScript. That keeps three promises:

  • Fast — pages are tiny and load instantly.
  • Simple — what you see in the repo is what runs in the browser.
  • Private — the tools do their work locally; nothing is uploaded.

How a post is made

  1. Write Markdown in content/posts/ with YAML front matter.
  2. Drop any images in content/images/.
  3. Render it to dist/posts/<slug>/index.html using the shared layout.
  4. Add it to the listing and the sitemap.

That's it. The same conclusion-first, example-driven style we aim for in the writing is the same style we aim for in the code.

What's next

Browse the tools — the JSON validator is the first one shipped — and keep an eye on writing for more.
