// Under the hood

Uses

The small stack and working principles behind this corner of the web.

This site

Astro + TypeScript

Static pages first, with small scripts only where interaction earns the cost.

Markdown

Long-form writing lives in plain files with validated frontmatter.

Archivo + IBM Plex Mono

Self-hosted type, matching the lab-notebook direction from the site spec.

Game delivery

Godot

Browser exports can be mounted into individual project pages without changing the site shell.

Web builds

Each game gets a focused play surface, project notes, and a proper standalone URL.

Principles

Static by default

Fast, resilient pages with no client framework or analytics dependency.

Own the files

Project data is typed source; posts are portable Markdown; the output is ordinary HTML.
