+# Personal Website
+
+Link: <https://maik.dev>
+
+## Goals
+
+The goal of this website is mainly to post [CTF](https://ctftime.org/ctf-wtf/) writeups.
+
+Besides that, its also made for the enjoyment of creating this website. To wit, I also set some technical goals for this website.
+
+### Development goals
+
+The website must comply with at least the following:
+
+- The website is fully usable with JavaScript disabled.
+  - JavaScript may only be used for graphical enhancements.
+  - Where possible, JavaScript should be avoided.
+- The website must have a usable Dark Theme.
+  - This means all text and images are still readable, and the look and feel is the same are the regular theme (but dark ofcourse).
+- The website must have a working RSS feed,
+- The website must be static.
+  - Self-hosted, dynamic components (like a comment system) can be used, but the main content is static. (see the first goal)
+- All assets, libraries, whatever, must be hosted locally.
+  - With the exception of Google Analytics. I am planning to replace this in the future.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Install Hugo
+
+This website is made using the [Hugo static site generator](https://gohugo.io/).
+
+On Arch Linux this is as easy as running the following:
+
+```sh
+pacman -S hugo
+```
+
+### Running locally
+
+To see a preview of new posts, you can run the hugo development server.
+
+```sh
+hugo -DF server
+```
+
+The `-D` and `-F` flags are for building draft and future posts respectively.
+
+## Publish
+
+When a commit is pushed to the `master` branch, the new version of the website will automatically be deployed using GitHub Actions.
