Description: Welcome to my webiste!

Welcome to my blog! This blog was written from scratch in D using [vibe.d](https://vibed.org/) and [commonmark-d](https://github.com/AuburnSounds/commonmark-d). I also created two libraries to help me with developing it:  

* [markdata](https://github.com/ryhn-link/markdata) - a markdown metadata parser and deserializer  
* [ffeedd](https://github.com/ryhn-link/ffeedd) - "Fun feed D", a RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feed generator  

Both of these libraries are licensed under LGPL-3.0.

## Trivia
There isn't much more to talk about here, so have some fun facts:  
This website was originally supposed to be an URL shortener, embed generator and gist written in C#. I wasn't sure which framework should I use: ASP.NET Core, Blazor, or Blazor WASM. This resulted in me rewriting the website 3 times. The blog part was originally supposed to be a part of [ryhon.ga](https://ryhon.ga) using ASP.NET Core.  

Originally I didn't intend to add RSS support for the blog, however that changed when I wanted to create an Android app for [itch](https://itch.io/), which has a limited API and the only way of getting recommended games is by using the RSS feed or by downloading the HTML.  

While writing [ffeedd](https://github.com/ryhn-link/ffeedd) I had to create a function that converts date and time to a RFC 822 date-time string. When I looked up RFC 822 I found that RFC 822 is not just a format for date strings unlike RFC 3339, which I also used. RFC 822 is a message format, which has a header, similar to MultiMark's metadata

RFC 882 ([source](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/exchange-server-2010/aa493918(v=exchg.140))):
```
From: someone@example.com
To: someone_else@example.com
Subject: An RFC 822 formatted message

This is the plain text body of the message. Note the blank line
between the header information and the body of the message.
```

Here you would put the body, however the source doesn't include it :)
