Overview
You can think of this as a personal weblog rather than a portfolio. Here, you may find a mix of things I think about, what I’m up to, and the like. I will try to update this website as often as I can to reflect my state of being. Expect frequent design tweaks here and there.
Technical
This website is built by me with Next.js, styled with Tailwind CSS, deployed to Vercel. Design draft was made in Figma, but later iterations were prototyped directly in VS Code and Cursor. Further updates have been made using Zed and Antigravity. Notes are written in Markdown. For analytics, I use Umami to collect privacy-friendly data. Images are processed with Photoshop. Thanks to Cody for the domain name suggestion and technical help in the making of this site.
Typography
Fonts in use:
- Herbik Regular Italic Bold by Counter Forms
- Google Sans Code Regular
Colors
The neutral light and dark palettes are based on Flexoki by Steph Ango. Accent colors are based on riso swatches I collected but have since lost track of the sources.
Writing
For now, the writing on this website is mostly casual, with minimal editing. I use my personal style guide to keep things consistent. Here’s a part of it:
- Use sentence case for titles, headings, and most list items.
- Use em dashes without spaces.
- Use en dashes to specify a range.
- Linked text should describe the content of the link or the result of clicking the link. Do not use arbitrary terms like this.
- End sentence list items with periods.
- Periods go inside quotation marks.
- Use title case and italicize titles of books, movies, artworks, etc.
Influences
People whose vibes and styles have influenced the execution of this website in one way or another, in no particular order.
