🧑🏽💻 / Colophon
In printmaking, this is a brief statement at the end of a book or manuscript, typically used to describe the details of its production. For this website, it is how the site is made.
Tech Stack
This website is built with Astro, Tailwind, Github Pages, and Netlify. Interactive components are written in Svelte. Analytics are captured in Umami, which is an alternative to Google Analytics, is open source, and privacy-focused.
The previous site was built using Jekyll, Sass, Bourbon, Neat, and Netlify. I wrote a short blog post about this here.
The newsletter is powered by Buttondown.
The domain is registered with Hover.
Typography
This website uses “Brother 1816”, a font by Ignacio Corbo and Fernando Díaz of TipoType. The previous font we used for decorating the newsletter was Festivo LC Basic Dots by Ahmet Altun.
I love using Futura when I have time to go to the letterpress shop at San Francisco Centter for the Book.
Timestamps
All timestamps are in America/Los_Angeles timezone. This is because I am predominantly U.S. West coast-based, so PST/PDT is where all of my posts are central to. There are some exceptions when it comes to content I’ve written in other parts of the world. I’ve been flip-flopping, deciding whether or not showcasing the time things were posted are important, but for now, we will leave this as a footnote.
