TL;DR: Today I launch a web site for my book “Refactor Like a Superhero”! 🎉🥳
For more details, welcome below :–)
Look and Feel
The goal of this UI is to make it more comfortable to read, navigate, and search the book contents:
Each chapter has quick access to its sections and other chapters:
Accents side notes, factoids, quotes, and code samples are now highlighted and easier to find:
And, of course, it has the dark theme!
Technologies
The site is built using SvelteKit and deployed on Vercel. In the future, I plan to write more about these technologies and compare Svelte with React.
For me, it seems like Svelte is a serious competitor to other frontend frameworks, at least in the field of statically generated sites. I want to share my experience and some thoughts on this topic.
Reasons
Originally, I published the book on GitHub.
It felt okay at first, but GitHub's .md parser aggressively trims styling and semantics of many elements. I decided to fix that and publish the book with correct semantics and better (subjectively! 😄) styles.
The book is still available on GitHub in case you want to read it there, leave feedback about the content, or fix a typo in the text.
