Welcome to (the new) Zanite’s Nook!

Some of you might know that I was using Tumblr to host my old blog. (Here it is, if anyone’s interested in reminiscing the past.) Of course, it was pretty limited – for example, the mobile version of Tumblr had its own styling, which broke the site’s theme (including the LATEX and codeblocks). Well, it was only something I created back during my high school days when the pandemic was in full swing, even before I started doing competitive programming.

I decided that it was a good time to migrate to an actual website, with my own domain name and more customization options than a Tumblr site. As you can see in the footer, this site is built with Jekyll on top of the Quartz template, with a bunch of cosmetic customization. The Tumblr blog was green-themed, so I went for a change and made this blog purple-themed (except the selection color, which is now lime). Green and purple are indeed inverses of each other.

The Tumblr blog was quite empty, so there was only one article for me to migrate (the generating function Codeforces problem). It doesn’t really make much sense for me to migrate the welcome post and the math and code test, does it?

Talking about math and code, Jekyll does make typesetting math in LATEX significantly easier. It also has nice built-in codeblocks, so there is no more need to use GitHub Gists:

(x+y)n=∑i=0n(ni)xiyn−i 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Well, I guess that’s it for the welcome post. Welcome to the new Zanite’s Nook, and enjoy your stay!
