Thanks You
The development of this website would not have been possible without the support of the open-source community. Thanks to the community's many seasoned developers who created open-source projects/ packages and allowed people to use them freely.
The credits below are merely my way of showing gratitude to the people/companies/entities who somehow helped in the development of my website. None of this is sponsored by any company whatsoever.
Some of the open-source frameworks/packages/tools used in the development of this website include:-
Ghost CMS is a modern, open-source content management system focused on professional publishing and blogging. It is built on Node.js and designed for speed, simplicity, and SEO optimization. Ghost emphasizes clean writing experiences, membership support, and content monetization. The project is actively maintained and community-driven on GitHub here.
NGINX is a high-performance, open-source web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer. It is widely used for handling high concurrency, low latency, and scalable web traffic. NGINX is known for its event-driven architecture and efficient resource usage. Its open-source core is available on GitHub here.
Linux is a free and open-source operating system kernel that powers servers, desktops, and embedded systems worldwide. It is valued for its stability, security, and flexibility across diverse hardware platforms. Linux forms the foundation of most cloud infrastructure and DevOps environments. The official kernel source is maintained on GitHub here.
React.js is an open-source JavaScript library for building user interfaces, maintained by Meta. It enables component-based architecture and efficient UI updates via a virtual DOM. React is widely used for single-page applications and complex frontend systems. The source code is available on GitHub here.
Vite.js is a modern, open-source frontend build tool optimized for fast development workflows. It provides instant server startup and hot module replacement using native ES modules. Vite is commonly used with frameworks like React, Vue, and Svelte. The project is actively developed on GitHub here.
Netlify is a cloud computing company that offers a development as well as deployment platform which includes build, deploy, and serverless backend services for web applications and dynamic websites. It also offers a generous free tier of build minutes for the developers and non-commercial Hobby projects such as blogs.
Dynadot is a privately held ICANN-accredited domain name registrar and web hosting company. Dynadot's headquarters is established in San Mateo, California, with offices in Zhengzhou and Beijing, China, as well as Toronto, Canada. It is Dynadot where this domain is currently registered. They offer domains at cheap prices but excluding email-address, SSL-certificates etc.
Every website needs some sort of Content-Delivery-Network(CDN) to serve the requests of every user across the globe as fast as possible. This website uses Cloudflare for its CDN, and the SSL certificate is also issued by CloudFlare as it also serves as Certification Authority(CA). Once again, thanks to Cloudflare for providing free plans for small static websites.
Infographics makes everything look beautiful. I wish we could have infographics for our faces as well. While many of the infographics used on the website are created by me in Adobe Illustrator, many other are downlaoded from the website Unsplash.com. The reason I like Unsplash is that it offers so many svg illustrations with open-source licenses. But I also edit the downloaded files to suit my needs.
I express my gratitude towards all those who somehow helped in making the above mentioned open-source projects possible. The list mentioned above is surely NOT exhaustive. There are so many others as well. I am thankful to all those. Someday, I also intend to give something back to the dev community (if I can manage to make something good and meaningful in the first place).
As I always say, the world needs more open-source developers more than anything else.
