How it's made
Colophon
A colophon is the note at the end of a book that tells you how it was made. This is this site's.
The stack
- Built with Astro. Fully static: every page is plain HTML and CSS, with no client-side framework.
- Deployed to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions on every push.
- Content lives in TypeScript and Markdown files inside the repo. There is no CMS: the editor is the editor.
Typography
- Bricolage Grotesque for headings, Inter for body text, and Lora for long-form reading pages.
- Fonts are self-hosted — no requests to third parties. The dark palette is a handful of CSS custom properties.
Data & API
Quality
- An accessibility audit (axe-core over every key page) runs as a pre-commit hook. If a page fails, the commit doesn't happen.
- No analytics, no cookies, no trackers. If you're reading this, I have no idea — and that's fine.
Details
The whole site is available in Spanish, English, and Latin. Yes, Latin. Somebody had to.
