About This Site

This site is a working notebook, not a marketing site. It's designed to be fast, readable, and maintainable.

Technology

• Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS v4 + Typography plugin
• Content: MDX with syntax highlighting
• Hosting: Netlify (static export)

Design principles

Sparse · Monochrome · Measured · Real · No façade

• Typography: Geist Sans for body, Geist Mono for code
• Colors: White background, slate text, blue accents
• Layout: Single column, max 740px width
• Interactions: Minimal—hover states, no animations

The design signals quiet confidence. Hand-built and intentional, not mass-produced.

Inspiration

• Linear — Design restraint
• Anthropic — Clarity and honesty
• Stripe Press — Typographic precision

Analytics & Privacy

This site uses Netlify Analytics for basic usage insights—page views, referrers, and device types. No cookies, no tracking scripts, no personal data collection.

Philosophy

This site follows a simple rule: truth over polish. I write about what I'm actually building and learning, not what sounds good in a pitch deck.

Every claim has evidence. Every post teaches something testable. No marketing gloss, no startup buzzwords—just the build log.
