This notebook is built with Eleventy and plain Markdown files, edited through Sveltia CMS and hosted as a static site on DigitalOcean. Push to GitHub, and a couple of minutes later it's live. No database, no plugins to update, nothing to patch at 2am.
The look borrows from early-'90s computer ads and magazine layouts: generous space, expressive serif type, chunky little windows, and colors you could only get from a print shop. Cream and slate surfaces, blackberry and deep teal, and a splash of aqua when something needs your attention.
Headings are set in Newsreader, small labels in IBM Plex Mono and Pixelify Sans, and the interface in DM Sans. All of them are self-hosted, so the site looks the same on your machine as it does on mine.
The sun and moon button switches between light and dark. Older posts keep their original publish dates, and the ones I haven't gotten around to revising yet say so at the top.
