Welcome to Senders' homepage
This is my personal site for my projects and other random stuff I feel like uploading. A lot of it comes in the form of micro-blogs and stream of consciousness ramblings.

Yeah news to me too! Seems like according to the MDN it’s been supported since 2019 for most browsers and supported by all by now.
This is so wild!
Well you may have noticed this is in dark mode now (if you set your preferences to dark in your OS/Browser). But this is cool because it means we’re no longer restricted to using Javascript and custom preferences for websites.
I had assumed this existed because sites like GitHub were defaulting to darkmode despite me never setting anything in like my profile settings. But I just assumed based off of my legacy knowledge this was some custom render trick using javascript.
A common way I see a lot of people blog, especially micro-blog, is in markdown.
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.
It built itself on-top of common syntax prevalent on the web and was designed to be converted into simple HTML output. Since it leveraged preexisting syntax it was easy for new users to pick up, and is now found all over the web and applications.
Since I started this website, I had been writing each page by hand using a few tools to facilitate that - and for a while I had been looking for a good way to try out using markdown to generate some lighter pages and these blogposts.
