Building This Site

This site exists because I wanted something simple. A place for ideas that grow over time, not posts that decay.

The Stack

Astro for the framework. Tailwind for styling. Markdown files in a folder. That’s it.

No database. No CMS. No authentication. Just files that become pages.

The Process

I built this with Claude Code in a single session. Started with a blank Astro project and shaped it through conversation.

The gradient text came from wanting something that felt modern without being busy. The dark background because I stare at screens all day.

What I Learned

Wiki-links are powerful. Writing about and having it just work feels right. It’s how my brain connects ideas anyway.

The best tools disappear. I don’t think about the build process. I write markdown, push to GitHub, and Vercel handles the rest.

What’s Next

More pages. Better ideas. The structure is here. Now I just need to fill it.
