This site started as a plain Astro starter and is slowly becoming a small personal homepage: part portfolio, part notebook, part old-web dashboard.
The current direction is intentionally simple. Static pages, Markdown posts, editable data files, and small client-side widgets where they make sense. No CMS yet. No database. No heroic build system.
The main design rule is restraint: tan and charcoal, terminal-like labels, boxed panels, and enough ASCII texture to make the site feel handmade without making it hard to read.
Things I want this site to hold:
- project writeups
- technical notes
- bookshelf entries
- lab-adjacent thoughts
- small interactive toys
- contact information that is easy to find
This post is mostly a marker in the sand: the blog exists now, and adding another note should be as simple as dropping a Markdown file into src/content/blog/.
