A first look at the new place

This is a small, quiet corner of the internet — a place for writing, projects, and whatever accumulates over the years. It began as a single HTML file, then grew a build step, then a hosting story, then a view counter, and now this: a page you can read.

The pace here is intentional. There's no publishing schedule, no launch date, no metrics to hit. What ships, ships when it's ready. What doesn't, doesn't. If you find your way to something worth reading, that's the whole point.

What you'll find

Mostly, writing — essays when I have the patience for them, andnotes when I don't. Projects when they're worth showing. Anabout page that doubles as a colophon, because how a site is built often reveals more than what it says.

The web used to be full of these — small, weird, personal sites tended by one person, built for reasons that made sense only to them. It's still possible to make one.

How it's put together

The site is built with Astro, deployed as a Cloudflare Worker with static assets, and served from the edge. The view counter you see on the front page is a small KV-backed API that runs in the same Worker as the static site — one deploy, one artifact, one thing to reason about.

If any of that sounds interesting, the about page has a diagram and longer notes on the choices.

What's next

A real first post — probably about the migration from a single HTML file to Astro, which was the moment this project stopped being a novelty and started being a habit.

See you around.
