+# whybhav.in
+
+hi, this is the repo of my website.
+
+as someone with multiple years of experience in various frontend js frameworks, i decided to built this with jekyll because why the heck not?
+
+## the site has
+
+-   a minimalist design that i'll probably get bored of in a year (as is tradition)
+-   a blog section with utterances comments
+-   a photo gallery that makes me feel like i'm better at photography than i actually am
+-   a "now" page that i'll update when i remember it exists
+-   a responsive design that somehow works on both phones and computers?
+
+## local setup
+
+to to run this locally:
+
+```bash
+# clone the repo
+git clone https://github.com/codebhav/codebhav.github.io.git
+
+# go into the project
+cd codebhav.github.io
+
+# install dependencies
+bundle install
+
+# start the jekyll server
+bundle exec jekyll serve
+```
+
+## photo processing
+
+i hate the idea of having to create different versions of the same photo for optimization, so i wrote a dainty shell script that you can run. it creates a low-res version of any new images you add to `/assets/images/photos/fullsize` and also automatically populates the necessary markdown files
+
+```bash
+chmod +x process_photos.sh
+./process_photos.sh
+```
+
+note: you need to have ImageMagick installed.

+special thanks to github.com/adryd325/oneko.js for making a handy js script for having a cat follow your cursor around, which is objectively the best feature of this website.
