Building this website.
— WHAT THIS IS
Static-first, hand-built, written in Astro and deployed quietly. The point is the writing, not the platform.
I wanted somewhere to put working notes and finished pieces without the usual creator-economy machinery — no analytics, no tracker, no scroll-depth heatmap. A small, honest corner of the internet.
The desk is the part I'm most attached to. It's how I keep myself honest about what's actually in motion.
— RECENT UPDATES
Built the /now page. Deliberately minimal — no cards, no borders, just the list.
Settled on the asymmetric grid. Took three rewrites of the homepage hero to get the photo to sit against the heading correctly.
