connerschultz.de

My personal landing page: connerschultz.de

A small, hand-written static site, no frameworks and no build step.

Tech

• Plain HTML and CSS
• Self-hosted font (Roboto Mono), so no requests to Google Fonts or other CDNs
• No cookies, no tracking, no analytics
• Imprint and privacy policy according to German law (DDG, DSGVO)

Deployment

Every push to main deploys automatically:

1. A GitHub Actions workflow (deploy.yml) connects to my VPS via SSH.
2. On the server, git pull updates the files.
3. nginx serves the site behind Traefik (managed by Coolify), which handles HTTPS with Let's Encrypt certificates.
4. Hidden files and folders such as .git are blocked by nginx.

The server is a Hetzner Cloud VPS in the EU (Helsinki).

Use of AI

I built this site myself, but I used AI (Claude) as a helper along the way:

• Debugging and problem solving, e.g. finding out why CSS wasn't applied or why the typing animation stuttered
• Some CSS changes, e.g. the layout and formatting of the privacy policy page
• Server and security checks for the setup behind the site
• Drafting texts, such as the privacy policy and this README, which I reviewed and adjusted
