Why This Template?
Most blogging platforms butcher code formatting, strip metadata, and lock your content in a database. This is a technical blog built for people who write code, not just about it:
- Data scientists & ML engineers who want to publish Jupyter notebooks as blog posts โ code, outputs, and narrative intact
- Technical writers who need proper syntax highlighting, LaTeX math, and Mermaid diagrams
- Researchers publishing analyses with citations, BibTeX references, and reproducible content
- Developers who want a blog that loads fast, ranks well, and doesn't cost $20/month to host
"I moved my blog from Medium to this template and my organic traffic doubled in three months. Turns out owning your own domain and having proper SEO metadata makes a difference." โ Priya Sharma, Senior Data Scientist
"I publish my Jupyter notebooks directly as blog posts. No screenshots of code, no copy-paste formatting disasters. Just drop the .ipynb and it renders beautifully." โ Tom Eriksson, ML Engineer, Stockholm
