about this website
This website is built with Pelican, a Python-based static site generator. Most of the text on this site is written in Markdown. I wrote the CSS by hand, with the exception of the CSS for the code syntax highlighting, which comes from Pygments. A lot of the colors I use are from the kanagawa paper neovim theme.
I write my code in a mix of VS Code and Neovim (configured with lazyvim). I'd like to move fully over to Neovim, but I need to get a bit better at configuring plugins first.
I host my website with NearlyFreeSpeech, a great and cost-effective web host for people who know what they're doing. I deploy by just using scp to copy Pelican's output to the server.

design goals
This website is intended to be my personal space to be creative and experiment. I want it to be lightweight: static, small images, no javascript required. I also want it to be flexible: bright and whimsical in some places, more minimal and stark in others. I'm not trying to create anything cohesive, just something fun.
I care about accessibility and using web technologies wisely. If I've make mistakes on that front, please do let me know.
