Colophon

A note on how this place is built. I made it by hand, on purpose; no framework, no CMS, nothing to outgrow.

The server

It runs on Bun and TypeScript: a small custom router, one feature-slice per thing the site does. Pages are rendered with Eta templates and cached for a minute at a time.

The look

One hand-written stylesheet. No CSS frameworks, no web fonts. Prose is set in Georgia; the small structural bits — nav, dates, labels — are system monospace. There are two themes, warm paper by day and warm hearth by night, and the site quietly follows whichever your device prefers.

The plumbing

The pages carry microformats so other tools can read them, and the blog and microblog both publish RSS. Everything lives in a git repository and is written in VS Code.

If you want to see how any of it works, just ask — I'm happy to share.
