Hey Taylor! Good looking site- The minimal theming feels very clean. 2 suggestions jumped out: 1. The font size on homepage is small, especially for the two columns of dates. I can't really read them from across my desk (even on a big monitor). It's also not clear what the dates represent- maybe created and updated dates for each post? 2. The dates aren't present on the post pages themselves, so someone landing direc…

Thanks for the feedback! I just pushed up some changes. Let me know how it looks in ~10 minutes :)

Those dates are indeed created and updated dates. I haven't thought of pretty a way to visually indicate that haha. Let me know if you have any ideas!

> 2. The dates aren't present on the post pages themselves, so someone landing directly on a post won't know how old it is.

It would be very easy to add, but I didn't think people would care!

I'll add created/updated dates at the end of each page so it doesn't pollute the header. Thanks for the recommendations!

https://www.calebk.com - Static site with no framework beyond basic PUG/SCSS. - Uses no JS at all. - Actually pretty readable on a monochrome Palm Pilot too, as far as modern HTML goes. --- My key post is my thought framework for ethical software design: https://calebk.com/articles/design-ethics Have some fun ones on PalmOS UX and other experiments coming up, but unpublished for now. :)

I love the little animation in the top left as well as the color scheme! What a lovely website.

I’ve used this site design for probably 6 years?

Today it’s a NextJS site on Vercel backed by markdown files (older pages) and Notion (newer pages). I’ve also built the same design with a Python SSG which was focused on one HTTP request per page, and before that a POSIX shell script I wrote focused on being as FreeBSD as possible.

I would like to share more knowledge on the site, but it’s in last place behind all my other life goals.
