How this site is built

This site is hand-coded by me entirely in HTML and CSS, which gives me all the fine-grained control. I write and keep a copy of my blog posts in Obsidian. Since the site is pretty simple, I usually prototype directly with code in Sublime Text. Typography is set in Source Serif 4 by Frank Grießhammer. Icons are from Streamline. I use Clop to optimize and convert all images.

Everything is on GitHub (repo if you’d like to poke around) and deployed via Cloudflare Pages, with my domain registered on Cloudflare. I use Umami for basic analytics, I’m mostly curious how folks find the site and how many visitors look at what specific things I’ve written.

These sites and people have inspired my approach to designing and writing for this space:
