 incredibly hacky Patreon API client I wrote for this website and iterate over
 it, making a list of every patron by name.
 
+## Build Process
+
+As a nice side effect of this rewrite, my website is now completely built using
+[Nix](https://nixos.org/). This allows the website to be built reproducibly, as
+well as a full development environment setup for free for anyone that checks out
+the repo and runs `nix-shell`. Check out
+[naersk](https://github.com/nmattia/naersk) for the secret sauce that enables my
+docker image build. See [this blogpost](/blog/drone-kubernetes-cd-2020-07-10)
+for more information about this build process (though my site uses GitHub
+Actions instead of Drone).
+
+## `jsonfeed` Go package
+
+I used to have a [JSONFeed](https://www.jsonfeed.org/) package publicly visible
+at the go import path `christine.website/jsonfeed`. As far as I know I'm the
+only person who ended up using it; but in case there are any private repos that
+I don't know about depending on it, I have made the jsonfeed package available
+at its old location as well as its source code
+[here](https://tulpa.dev/Xe/jsonfeed). You may have to update your `go.mod` file
+to import `christine.website/jsonfeed` instead of `christine.website`. If
+something ends up going wrong as a result of this, please [file a GitHub issue
+here](https://github.com/Xe/site/issues/new) and I can attempt to assist
+further.
+
+## `go_vanity` crate
+
+I have written a small go vanity import crate and exposed it in my Git repo. If
+you want to use it, add it to your `Cargo.toml` like this:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+go_vanity = { git = "https://github.com/Xe/site", branch = "master" }
+```
+
+You can then use it from any warp application by calling `go_vanity::github` or
+`go_vanity::gitea` like this:
+
+```rust
+let go_vanity_jsonfeed = warp::path("jsonfeed")
+    .and(warp::any().map(move || "christine.website/jsonfeed"))
+    .and(warp::any().map(move || "https://tulpa.dev/Xe/jsonfeed"))
+    .and_then(go_vanity::gitea);
+```
+
+I plan to add full documentation to this crate soon as well as release it
+properly on crates.io.
+
+## `patreon` crate
+
+I have also written a small [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/) API client and
+made it available in my Git repo. If you want to use it, add it to your
+`Cargo.toml` like this:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+patreon = { git = "https://github.com/Xe/site", branch = "master" }
+```
+
+This client is _incredibly limited_ and only supports the minimum parts of the
+Patreon API that are required for my website to function. Patreon has also
+apparently started to phase out support for its API anyways, so I don't know how
+long this will be useful.
+
+But this is there should you need it!
+
+## Dhall Kubernetes Manifest
+
+I also took the time to port the kubernetes manifest to
+[Dhall](https://dhall-lang.org/). This allows me to have a type-safe kubernetes
+manifest that will correctly have all of the secrets injected for me from the
+environment of the deploy script.
