Making a personal site is tricky—especially when the temptation to tinker with new frontend tech takes over. This site has been through Jekyll, 11ty, and Next.js before I rebuilt it in Framer, then recently moved to Astro. The transition back to code wasn't about the tech—it was about workflow. There's something liberating about working directly with markdown files instead of being locked into an app. Files you can edit anywhere, version control properly, and truly own.
The typefaces used are Futura (1927), Baskerville (1757), and IBM Plex Mono (2017). Futura's geometry keeps things sharp, Baskerville adds a touch of warmth, and IBM Plex Mono brings a mechanical edge. Together, they balance structure and character.
