About Simone

Simone Vittori is a programmer originally from Perugia, Italy, but now living in London, England. He's obsessed about code: if he's not writing it, he's probably reading, speaking or dreaming about it. He enjoys coding in many different languages, such as Ruby, Elixir, Elm and Gleam, just to name a few. In his free time, he loves walking in nature, eating pasta and playing video games.

I founded this site in February 2010, back when Flash games and IE6 (🪦) were still a thing. It went through a few iterations since then, going from a humble personal space to a tech blog. I started with WordPress before moving to Octopress and finally Jekyll. It’s also my playground: I like to tinker with it, experiment with ideas, and sometimes just mess around for the sake of learning.
Some fun facts:
It is free and open source. It’s my way of giving back to the indie web. It feels good to share, and it’s the right thing.
There is no backend nor database. All pages are actually just HTML & CSS, resulting in a super fast website that can’t be hacked.
No advertising or tracking either. I write blog posts so that I don’t forget stuff I learn and because I enjoy sharing my work with others.
