Designing this homepage, take one

Placeholder post about the making of this site — the stack, the layout, and what I want it to become.

This is a placeholder post. Replace it with real writing about how this homepage came together.

Why a sidebar layout

A short paragraph explaining the choice: navigation stays in one place, the content column stays narrow and readable, and every page shares the same frame. The sidebar collapses to icons on desktop and becomes a sheet on mobile.

The stack

  • Astro for static output and zero-JS-by-default pages
  • React islands for the interactive shell — sidebar, theme toggle, motion
  • Tailwind CSS v4 with a small set of custom tokens

What’s next

Another short paragraph. Maybe a list of things you plan to add: more writing, real project write-ups, an RSS feed. This section exists so the post has enough body to test typography and spacing.
