# helixnebula.space
|
|
|
|
This bespoke code creates [my photography site](https://helixnebula.space/). It
|
|
is also accessible [via the gemini protocol](gemini://helixnebula.space/).
|
|
|
|
My site is statically generated, which means I run `generate.py` to create a
|
|
bunch of html and gmi files and the [nginx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nginx)
|
|
and [molly-brown](https://github.com/LukeEmmet/molly-brown) servers simply serve
|
|
the files. As such, there is no server code here.
|
|
|
|
This site tries to be as simple as possible. There's some css that makes it look
|
|
better, and some dependancy-free javascript that manages the image browsing
|
|
experience once an album is opened. The whole thing has been written by me,
|
|
mostly from scratch aside from a few helpful python libraries, for my own
|
|
educational purposes. While it may be a little too fancy to truly adhere to
|
|
[smolweb principles](https://smolweb.org/), I deeply admire that movement and
|
|
similar ethos carried by communities like [tilde.town](https://tilde.town).
|
|
|
|
I created this website as a loveletter to the American west and the immense time
|
|
I spent exploring it. It is made to share beauty as I have experienced it, and
|
|
will never include advertising or be influenced by a desire for monetary gains.
|
|
The site does not use cookies in any way.

I hope that you enjoy this site, and if you are developer of similar such sites,
|
|
I hope this can be an inspiration for you. |
