Hello World
First post. Why this site exists.
Every developer needs a place to think out loud. This is mine.
I built this site because I wanted something simple — a place to write without distractions, without a CMS, without complexity. Just markdown files and a static site generator.
The stack
- Astro for static generation
- Markdown for content
- Nothing else
No JavaScript frameworks. No build-time CSS processing. Just HTML and CSS shipped to the browser.
Why bare bones
Most portfolio sites try too hard. Animated backgrounds, parallax scrolling, loading screens for a page that’s 12kb. I wanted the opposite.
The best interface is the one you don’t notice.
If you’re reading this, the site works and it loaded fast. That’s enough for now.
