My personal blog, with some other stuff lying around. I've been neglecting it over the past year or so. It's a Hugo-powered static site, though I started off using Ghost.

My design philosophy, such as it is:

Have a unique look without being too esoteric, and minimise cruft on content pages (https://davidyat.es/2019/05/05/site-redesign/)

Provide a pleasant reading experience

Use JavaScript sparingly and only for enhancements (example: https://davidyat.es/2020/12/31/footnote-previews/)

I recently gave it an overhaul to turn it into more of a "digital garden" which I go into a little here https://writing.martin-brennan.com/renewal/. I write fiction, so I want more of a place where I can store backstory about my worlds and characters as well as having a regular blog. I am pretty happy with it, but I need to fill it out more, there are a lot of page stubs that are crying out to be filled with worldbuilding.

A straightforward blog (static site generated by Nikola), but I had fun styling it to look kinda like an old CRT. I also loaded it up with IndieWeb goodness (webmentions, pingbacks), bridged the webmentions to Twitter (will add Mastodon at some point), and added comments via GitHub. All this is described here: https://gallant.dev/posts/a-blog-reborn/
