A template

So people could really leave the hour with a site of their own, I made a blog template in advance: fork it, turn on GitHub Pages, and it works, with a home page and a project page to adapt.

It’s something I kept coming back to: in 2022 I taught people to publish an online résumé with Azure, then this workshop on building a personal site, and now this blog.

Finally meeting

Shui Bo and I have always been online friends, and we ran this workshop together from behind our screens. In April 2025, we finally met in person in Shenzhen.
