Colophon
How this site is made.
Type & color
Headings are set in Fraunces, body text in Public Sans, and the small-caps labels in IBM Plex Mono with tabular numerals — a habit left over from years of building applications for institutional finance, where numbers line up or someone notices.
The palette is the one I dress in: walnut, olive, and beige. Hairline rules instead of boxes; a ledger, not a dashboard.
Lineage
This is the third site to carry the job. The first, in 2019, was hand-written HTML and CSS from freeCodeCamp's responsive web design certification. The second, in 2022, was a Vue 3 + Vite site hosted on the Internet Computer via Fleek, behind a Handshake domain — peak decentralized-web enthusiasm, and its writeup survives in the blog. This one trades the ideology for boring reliability: flat files on a CDN, a domain from a registrar.
Build
- Nuxt 4 with Nuxt Content — every page on this site is a markdown file in a git repository.
- Fully prerendered with
nuxt generate; served as static files from Cloudflare Workers. - Recipes keep their ingredients in structured frontmatter, so the site can render checklists and honest print pages.
- Built largely with Claude Code.
