My first statically generated website

Hacker News

I asked HN previously which static generator to use ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35019343 ) and based on the responses there, I went with Pelican. Here's a write-up on how I built my website from scratch - right from buying a domain to setting up CD via Github Actions. I'm a total newbie to web development (my experience is in embedded systems) so any and all suggestions for improvement are welcome! Looking forward to your feedback :)
