I wanted a place online that was simple, useful, and mine. This website does not need a complicated design or a long list of features. It only needs to make my writing and links easy to find.
A plain website also keeps the focus on the words. It loads quickly, works on a phone, and does not require a database or a collection of plugins. There is very little here that can break.
I may add more over time, but the goal will remain the same: publish useful things without turning the website itself into a project.
