My Projects
Here you’ll find a fine selection of projects I am involved in.
The JAMstack and static site generators
I do like the JAMstack and static site generators. And there is a lot to like about it. Compared to the “old way” of doing things (read: the LAMPstack) the JAMstack offers many benefits:
- Better performance as pages are prebuilt and served from CDNs,
- higher security by reducing surface areas for attackers,
- cheaper, easier scaling through CDNs,
- better developer experience which makes the web fun again 💕.
Thanks to markdown the content of my projects can be read and maintained with a simple text editor.

Showcase
My own page
graessle.com
My own website is more of a playground to test new Hugo features. It sports a search function that uses algolia as a search provider. The games table was originally coded in Angular, later in React and now in Svelte. Let’s see what new reactive framework I’ll port it to next 😉
Hugo Matomo Component
github.com/holehan/hugo-component-matomoMatomo tracking and optout scripts for Hugo.
Erzaehlspiel-Zine
erzaehlspiel-zine.netlify.app
A site all about story telling games. I am responsible for continuous integration, deployment and adding dynamic features.
Termux Extra Repository
termux.holehan.org
This apt repository contains extra packages for Termux, an Android terminal emulator and Linux environment app.
Spieletreff Website
www.spieletreff-neuwied.de
A website about a local board gaming group in Koblenz. Originally I implemented the site in WordPress. Now it’s powered by Hugo. Simple dynamic elements are coded in JavaScript.
FU - the freeform universal roleplaying game
fu-rollenspiel.de
German website about FU: the Freeform Universal RPG. I setup the tooling and make sure the site runs smoothly.
Heckmeck-WM
heckmeck-wm.de
A site all about the well known dice game “Heckmeck am Bratwurmeck”, also known as “Pickomino” outside of Germany. While the design may feel a bit dated, the underlying stack isn’t. The site is developed in staging and production environments and makes use of the the WordPress stack by roots.io.
