This website
My small corner of the internet — built with Astro and plain Markdown.
This site is where I write, think, and occasionally tinker in public.
Why it exists
A tab closed, a thread lost, thought never written down. This website is a deliberate counterweight. The goal is to give my thinking somewhere to live outside my head, where it can be revisited, corrected, and connected to other ideas over time.
A few things I want it to be:
- A place to think, not perform. Essays and project here are drafts that happen to be public. I would rather publish something that’s in a state of development and refine it rather than wait for the polished, finished articel that never arrives.
- Durable. Plain Markdown, no database, no lock-in. If the build tool changes in five years, the writing still reads fine in a text editor.
- Quiet. If something here is useful, that is enough.
How it’s built
The stack is deliberately plain. Astro renders Markdown files into static pages. Tailwind handles styling. There is no CMS, no client-side state, and almost no JavaScript shipped to the browser.
Writing happens in a text editor. Publishing is a git push. The whole thing builds in seconds and hosts for free.
What’s here
- Essays — longer-form writing/thinking.
- Projects — Notes on things I have built or am building.
- About / Now — who I am and what I am focused on at the moment.
What’s next
The shape of this site will keep changing. I expect to add a book list, better cross-linking between essays, and eventually some kind of lightweight “garden” view that surfaces older writing instead of burying it under newer posts.
The point isn’t the website itself — it’s the habit of writing.
