Welcome to my blog. With social media becoming progressively worse over time, I thought it’d be nice to have my own dedicated place to host my thoughts, discoveries, and miscellany. I expect this to largely document interesting tech stuff.
About this blog
Honestly, first and foremost this is a website for me to indulge my most idiosyncratic development sensibilities. I want to build a site with the tools I enjoy, and I want to prioritize what I value most. That’s why everything on this site is hand-written and heavily customized.
There is no server-side code. This site is created using a static site generator I wrote in Python, using a substantially customized markdown library. I wrote the HTML and CSS myself. It relies on JavaScript only for loading fonts, saving your theme setting, and handling the copying of text in code blocks.
