Colophon

This site was built with my custom static generator called Epilogue. It was written in Rust, and its unique feature is that it uses Typst as a scriptable markup language instead of something like Markdown. It outputs fully rendered organic fair-trade html that gets shipped straight from farm-to-user. No JavaScript virtual dom or frameworks here (the only JavaScript I ship is prism.js and analytics).

Styling is done with Tailwind, an insane way to do css, saved only by the fact that it is better than every other way to do css. The html templates are written as maud macros in Rust (which means the Rust compiler is essentially my templating engine). The hypertext crate’s maud! implementation is used for efficient rendering.

The sans-serif typeface is Source Sans 3. The typeface used for both body text and headings is Valkyrie, a professional font designed by Matthew Butterick. Much of this site’s web design is informed and inspired by his Practical Typography. Thank you Mr. Butterick!

The color scheme is Rosé Pine, in the dawn variant for light mode (with a pure white background because I’m not a fan of the cream) and main variant for dark mode.

I’ve owned this domain and had a personal website since 2023. Here is my old website, which I’ll keep online for archival purposes until it becomes too much work to do so.
