This website is built with Hugo and served as static files. It shares a small monorepo and deployment system with other independent sites, allowing one low-power computer to host several domains without running an application server.
Design goals
- Work fully without JavaScript
- Use no external fonts, trackers, or third-party assets
- Keep pages readable on old devices and slow connections
- Dither photographs into compact, intentional color palettes
- Keep the source understandable enough to repair later
The visual language borrows from field notebooks, garden diagrams, old terminals, and optimistic ecological design. The implementation stays deliberately ordinary: semantic HTML and a single inlined stylesheet.
Infrastructure
This site is running on a Raspberry Pi. Currently, it’s plugged into the electric grid, but my dream is to move this to a 100% solar powered system. I’m inspired by Low Tech Magazine and would love to implement public status details like they have.
