Where to Find the Technical Blogs on qrli's Software Development Site

Updated

The Technical Blogs section on qrli's software development site doesn't host articles on the site itself. It links out to gist.github.com/qrli, so the blog content lives as GitHub Gists. If you want to read the technical notes, go to that Gist profile rather than looking for a blog page on the site.

What the Site Actually Contains

The site is a small personal developer page with two labeled sections:

Section What it points to
Technical Blogs gist.github.com/qrli
Software Tools Two Windows desktop tools: SmoothDraw and SimplyIcon

The site itself is built on GitHub Pages with the Dinky theme, which fits the pattern: a lightweight index page that points elsewhere for longer-form or note-style content.

How to Reach the Blogs

  1. Open the site's homepage.
  2. Find the Technical Blogs heading.
  3. Follow the link to gist.github.com/qrli.

Expected result: you land on the author's GitHub Gist profile, where the technical notes are published as individual Gists.

What to Expect Once You're There

Because the content is stored as Gists, expect short-form technical notes rather than a conventional blog with dated posts, categories, or an archive page. Each entry is a separate Gist, so browsing works like scanning a list of snippets rather than reading a feed.

A practical example: if you're looking for a specific note on a development topic, it's faster to scan the Gist list for a matching filename or description than to search the site itself, since the site holds no article text.

Common Sticking Points

  • No blog page on the site. The "Technical Blogs" heading is a link, not a section with excerpts. Don't wait for article previews to load.
  • Gists aren't a blog platform. There's no built-in chronological index or tag system, so navigation depends on GitHub's Gist listing.
  • The tools are separate. SmoothDraw (a freehand drawing/sketching tool for Windows Desktop) and SimplyIcon (an .ico converter for high-resolution icons) are listed under Software Tools and are unrelated to the blog content.
