Colophon
A few notes about how I built the site.
Last updated
This site has been rebuilt more times than I can remember. This is the current version.
Under the hood
- Built with Zola and written in
Markdown. - The pages are plain static
HTML,CSS, and a littleJavaScript. - No frontend framework. Zola builds everything before it gets uploaded.
- Source and changes are managed with
Gitand GitHub.
Design
I like old personal sites, pixel icons, weird buttons, and interfaces with too many little details. Most of the design came from trying things, staring at them for a while, and changing them again.
The fonts are Golos Text and Commit Mono. Fonts, icons, game covers, and the 88×31 buttons are served from the site itself.
Built to stay small
- Dark and light themes
- Responsive pages and keyboard-friendly navigation
- RSS and Atom feeds, tags, a sitemap, and search
- No analytics or advertising trackers
- A live Discord presence and now-playing card when the services are available
It probably will not look exactly like this forever.
