Colophon
Site Purpose:
I started this site to build my master's capstone in public. Then my first personal experiment sent me down a rabbit hole of digital gardens, the indieweb, the handmade web, and any other corner of the cozy internet I could find that felt like the 90s web I so loved.
Now it's my digital garden, where I learn and create in public.
Tech Stack:
- Written in Obsidian (where the majority of my work happens) using markdown
- Theme hand-coded HTML and CSS in VS Code
- Static site generated with 11ty
- Minimal JS (mostly pulled from Stack Overflow as I have yet to learn JavaScript)
- Site hosted on Dreamhost
Design Principles:
- No tracking (no Google Analytics, no cookies, no scripts)
- No ads, sponsored posts, or affiliate links
- Keep it fast-loading and lightweight
- My site is represented by an ampersand (&), a symbol of connections, which gets to the heart of my work.
Accessibility:
- My goal is to use only text and Unicode for site theming, avoiding images for pure aesthetics.
- JavaScript will never be required to read or use the site.
- Readability and accessibility are always my top priorities.
Fonts:
- All fonts are self-hosted on this domain for privacy and performance. No external font services are used.
- Playfair Display
- Be Vietnam Pro
