A colophon, in the old printing sense: how this site is made, what it refuses to include, and what it hides.

construction

Version: v3.0.0. The site is a product; products have releases.
Framework: Next.js 16 with React Server Components
Styling: Tailwind CSS 4, one column, hairline borders
Type: SF Pro and SF Mono from the system. The operating-system applications bring their own period pixel fonts.
Sound: Curated UI sounds from the react-sounds library, fetched lazily on first play. M mutes everything.
Motion: CSS transitions and an IntersectionObserver. Nothing else.
Weight: No analytics, no cookies, no tracking of any kind
Source of truth: One data file, plus live reads of the GitHub API and the blog feed

Three standalone desktops with their own windows, app launchers, projects, browser, notes, calculator, and terminal.

Most of them. Cataloguing all of them would defeat the purpose.

There are also a few words you can simply type. One is a name. One is from a cave. Three launch operating systems.

Set in nothing but the fonts your machine already had. Built by hand, kept small on purpose.Back to the front
