Colophon

This website is built using Astro, and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. It's a great tool for building static sites, and it's really easy to use. I can write my blog and reading content in Markdown, and Astro takes care of the rest. It's also really fast, which is great for SEO and user experience.

Each push to the main branch of it's repository triggers a build on Vercel, which then deploys the site. It's a great workflow, and it means that I can make changes to the site and see them live in seconds.

I've not used a utility CSS framework for my site. I prefer to write my CSS using plain old CSS, and I find that it works well for me. I can create classes and keep my styling and presentation separate, which is important to me. I also find that I can compose pure CSS much quicker than constantly having to remember what the utility framework's class might be to achieve the style I'm after.

There's no cookies or tracking on this site. I value my privacy, and that of my visitors, and I don't want to collect any data on them. I also don't want to have to deal with the legal implications of collecting data, so it's just easier to not do it at all.
