This template uses Showdown, a JavaScript Markdown to HTML converter. I initially built a client-side project, which runs directly in the browser without a server.

Before we begin, let me clarify a few things. I created all the JavaScript for this project with help from LLMs. It works, but it may not be up to the level of code written by an experienced developer. I'm sharing this as a personal blog template. Coders can cross-check and fix any problems. Non-coders can copy the JavaScript code into any LLMs to verify it themselves. If you need a different approach use any LLMs and make the appropriate changes. It is simple, if I can create this without any coding knowledge, you can too.
