Hello, world

I've been meaning to build a personal site for years. Not for any particular reason — I just like the idea of having a small corner of the internet that's mine, where I can put things without an algorithm deciding who sees them.

So here it is. Built in an afternoon, for fun.

What's here

• Writing — notes and essays I want to keep. This post is the first.
• Projects — things I've built that I'm proud of.
• Playground — interactive experiments that don't need to justify themselves.

How to add a post

This whole blog is just Markdown files. To write a new post, I drop a .md file into content/writing/ with a little bit of frontmatter at the top:

---
title: My New Post
date: 2026-07-01
summary: One sentence that shows up in the list.
---

The actual post goes here. Regular **markdown** — links, lists,
`code`, > quotes, all of it.

That's the whole workflow. No database, no CMS, no login. Save the file, and the post shows up.

The best personal sites feel like a person, not a product. That's the goal.

More soon.
