An intense and inspiring two days at Vuejs.amsterdam. Great venue and awesome people in the midst of Amsterdam! Here are the top insights from the leading voices from day one.

🚀 Core Vue & Nuxt Evolution

  Powerful alternative for Pinia with quite a lot of transport protocols already implemented WS and offline-first.

  Pro tip: Use shallowRef() for large data lists to optimize reactivity.

  Me and Daniel have in common having climbed the “mountain” Arthur’s Seat.

  Issues could be Hydration mismatch or CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift).

HTTPS on GitHub Pages over custom domains

15 Sep 2018

Noticed that GitHub Pages gained support for HTTPS over customer domains. Actually quite a few months ago.

Adding HTTPS was a breeze. I just needed to update my DNS editor with four new IP address found here.

Wait five minutes for your newly configured DNS settings to spread around the Internet. Then reconfirm the DNS configuration with below command in the terminal window.

dig wramdemark.se +nostats +nocomments +nocmd

The above mentioned IP addresses should appear. After that I went into the Settings page on my GitHub Pages repository and re-added the custom domain. Voila, HTTPS spot on.

GitHub Pages are working together with the great organization Let’s Encrypt who is working for securing the Internet. I have already used Let’s Encrypt in other projects, for instance when running my home automation system, Home Assistant.

Jekyll, Lanyon and Github Pages.

08 Oct 2017

Finally got this website up and runnig thanks to Jekyll, Lanyon and Github Pages. They have all been around for a couple of years, but I have missed them.

Jekyll is a static site generator, an open-source tool for creating simple yet powerful websites of all shapes and sizes.

Lanyon is the theme used for this web site. Great looking and perfect for a small blog site.

Github Pages is hosting the web site, so it’s all administered and version controlled through Github.
