Colophon

This site is a personal project, a digital garden of sorts, how everyone likes to call it. It's a place where I can learn new things and improve my skills. It's also a place where I can share my thoughts, ideas, and experiences with the world.

I'm constantly tweaking and refining this site, adding new content, and improving the user experience. Just like life itself, it's a work in progress.

Technical stuff

I've built this site using my favorite tech stack. While I'm always open to trying new tools and technologies, I've found this combination to work best for me:

• Built and statically generated with Next.js and React Server Components.
• Typescript for type safety. I don't use any in my code.
• Hosted on Vercel with Vercel Analytics¹.
• Content is written in MDX and processed with Velite and Zod for an extra layer of type safety.
• Styled with Tailwind CSS and a bit of custom CSS.
• Components built with Radix UI.
• Syntax highlighting using Shiki with VS Code Dark Plus and Github Light themes.
• Domain registered with Namecheap in 2021.

The source code is not open-source, but it might be in the future. I keep all the code and content in a private repository on my GitHub. But hey, you can always shoot me a DM on 𝕏 or send me an email if you're curious about something specific.

Typography and icons

The text on this site is set in Inter, with a sprinkle of Lora for some emphasis. Only two weights are used: 400 and 500. JetBrains Mono is used for code blocks and snippets, it's in my editor as well. Icons are from Lucide built by an awesome community.

Inspiration

The site's design and layout draw inspiration from some of the most skilled designers and engineers on the web. Here are a few of them, in no particular order:

• Brian Lovin
• Alexander Sandberg
• Lee Robinson
• Rauno Freiberg
• Paco Coursey
• Emil Kowalski
• Cristian Crețu
• Felix Dorner
• Samuel Peitz

This list goes beyond with examples of the most cleanest looking and minimal websites, all carefully selected by Dead Simple Sites.
