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 conclusion-first, example-driven style we aim for in the writing is the style we aim for in the code.

What's next

Browse the tools, starting with the JSON validator, and keep an eye on writing for more.
