This Site

This site is built with Sveltekit and Markdown. It is deployed via Cloudflare Pages and fully statically rendered at build time using a Cloudflare Pages CI job.

It borrowed from the the very awesome SvelteKit Blog Starter but has diverged significantly since.

The front page Chatbot leverages Dialogflow and Firebase serverless functions.
