About this template (and the author)

↑ That’s me! ↑

Hey, my name’s Harrison, and I’m the author of this template. I’ve used Middleman for years to build my personal site, and I figured it was time I shared what I’ve learned.

Is Middleman dying? Probably. Is it a good choice for your personal site / blog? Maybe? Do I love it as a lightweight framework for building a simple static site and a lightweight blog? Absolutely.

I work with Ruby on Rails quite often, and it’s always refreshing to come back to a piece of software like Middleman, where the surface area is so much smaller.

I’ve tried to include things that I think you’ll find really handy in this template — TailwindCSS, a blog system pre-configured, handy CSS hacks I’ve learned, code highlighting and more.

I hope you find it useful!
