Technologies Behind 365Note: How We Built This Site
The core technology stack powering 365Note (alongside our Chinese edition at 365note.janqi.com) in 2026 consists of:
- Hexo: Node.js-based static site generator
- Fluid Theme: Clean, responsive, and modern theme
- GitHub: Cloud Git repository for version control and content storage
- Tencent Cloud EdgeOne: Edge CI/CD build, CDN acceleration, and HTTPS deployment
- Markdown: Frictionless, distraction-free writing workflow
This architecture reliably fulfills our publishing needs. While technologies may evolve in the future, this setup remains our long-term baseline.
Hexo: Compiling Markdown into Modern Web Pages
Hexo is a simple yet powerful website generation tool built on the Node.js ecosystem, particularly well-suited for CMS-like article publishing and technical blogs.
With Hexo, the author can focus entirely on Markdown composition without having to worry about complex front-end engineering details, routing, or database maintenance.
Special appreciation goes to:
- The Hexo open-source community for their high-quality static site tooling.
- GitHub for providing free, dependable private Git repositories.
- Tencent Cloud EdgeOne for its fast edge hosting and deployment capabilities.
- AI Coding Assistants, which helped scaffold the initial site structure and deployment pipelines effortlessly.
The entire publishing workflow is remarkably lean and cost-effective: simply write articles locally, push commits to the repository, and the site automatically builds and updates within seconds.
