-My personal website
+[![Build Status](https://ci.poldebra.me/api/badges/polpetta/bitdispenser.dev/status.svg)](https://ci.poldebra.me/polpetta/bitdispenser.dev)
+
+This is my personal website where I like to keep my thoughts mostly about
+technology & software. The site is statically generated thanks to
+[Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), and it huses the [Hermit
+theme](https://github.com/Track3/hermit). Posts are written in Markdown and then
+checked with Aspell.
+
+## Building the website
+
+You can have a live preview of the website locally using the following command:
+```sh
+hugo serve
+```
+
+Note that this repository uses Git LFS, so you need to enable it and pull binary
+objects first before building the site, otherwise you will likely have missing
+images & assets.
+
+## Lint & spellchecker checks
+
+Lint & spellchecker are respectively done with a npm package and a bash script.
+For running them you need node installed.
+
+For lint checking:
+```sh
+npm install
+npm run lint
+```
+
+For spell check:
+```sh
+npm run spellchecker
+```
+or
+```sh
+./tools/spellchecker.sh en
+```
