behind the pages
meta
This site is just HTML and CSS compiled into static pages using a blog generator I wrote in Go because I got tired of platforms that change their terms of service every Tuesday. I post a lot on Twitter, and I realized late that you don't actually own anything you post there, so everything I write online, this website will have a copy of it all, and it's just HTML and CSS compiled into static pages using a custom Go static site generator... just my words on my domain under my control. A full build of this site takes 13 milliseconds which is longer than zero but shorter than most modern websites take to load, and almost everything lives in the static build which means few moving parts and fewer things to break.
Typography
IBM Plex Sans carries the reading, and Plex Mono marks the dates, navigation, and small details. Fraunces gives the headings a little character; a few handwritten Caveat accents keep things personal. All fonts are hosted here.
Colors
Charcoal pages, warm cream text, and muted peach and blue accents. Thin borders and slightly offset frames keep the timeline, collections, and darkroom feeling like pages of the same notebook.
