My First Deno Blog Post

After years of tinkering with HTML, CSS, JS, and a few back-end technologies, I’ve finally jumped into the Deno ecosystem — and wow, what a smooth start.

I had been eyeing Deno for a while, mostly curious about its modern take on Node.js. No node_modules, secure by default, TypeScript first — all things that aligned with how I like to build. But the real kicker? Deno Deploy and the Lume static site generator.

Why Deno?

I was drawn in by:

• Zero-config serverless deployment via Deno Deploy
• First-class support for TypeScript and modern ES modules
• A rich standard library — no need to npm install for basics
• Clean integration with GitHub

Why Lume?

I wanted a site that:

• Was blazing fast
• Let me write posts in Markdown
• Could be deployed with a single push to GitHub

Lume checked all those boxes. Inspired by sites like tinyclouds.org, I forked a setup that used .page.ts files, search.pages(), and layouts powered by .tsx.

Bash + Deno = ⚡

I’m also embracing more Bash scripting to automate tasks:

• Deploying to Deno with CLI
• Converting images or logs with deno run
• Crons for syncing repos or content (shoutout Deno Cron Jobs)

What's Next?

This blog is just the start. I plan to:

• Build utilities that pull and visualize data using Deno scripts
• Explore Lume plugins and themes
• Share code snippets, small tools, and creative experiments right here

Thanks for reading — and welcome to my Deno-powered corner of the web.
