Colophon

Built with Astro as a fully static site — every page is rendered at build time, no client framework. Content is plain markdown; the build runs on GitHub Actions and deploys to GitHub Pages. Readers can leave an anonymous reaction without creating an account.

One face does the whole site: Inter, self-hosted as a variable font, at weights no heavier than 600 — headings included. Tracking tightens slightly on titles and sits at zero for body text. A mono face is kept for one job only: metadata, set at 11px in brackets. Nothing is fetched from a CDN and nothing shifts while loading.

Almost none. The page is paper and ink: one ground, one four-step ink ramp, one hairline value. A single accent exists and is spent sparingly — links, hover, the field you are typing in — never to colour-code a kind of content. There are four token sets (light and dark, in each of two spaces), and the geometry is identical across all of them, so switching space or theme repaints the page without moving anything on it.

Whitespace divides and hairlines punctuate. Three radii and no more: pills for links and tags, 12px for card surfaces, and nothing at all on list rows. Icons are a bespoke set drawn on a 24px grid with a sharp 1.5px stroke. Motion is paint-only — colour and shadow, 150 to 320ms — and switches off entirely when the reader asks for reduced motion.

Posts link to each other with wiki-style links; backlinks and theglobal graph are derived from them at build time, force-layout included — the reader downloads coordinates, not a physics engine.
