Philosophy

This site prioritizes durability and simplicity. Content is written in plain text, rendered to static HTML, and served with minimal JavaScript. The architecture favors web standards and long-term maintainability over trends.

Technology

• Static Generation: Jekyll
• Markup: HTML, CSS
• Scripting: JavaScript (used sparingly)
• Syndication: RSS
• Custom Elements:
  • <open-stories> for narrative content
  • <open-heart> for interactions

Publishing Workflow

Content is managed through a custom CMS backend that handles drafts, media uploads, and GitHub-based publishing.

• Backend: site-CMS - Next.js application for content management
• Deployment: GitHub Actions automatically builds and deploys changes
• Media: Cloudflare Images and Stream for asset hosting

Development

Requires Ruby. Run locally with:
