colophon

this site is written and edited in obsidian. i follow the principle of systems over templates - prioritising structure first before aesthetics. my plain text markdown files are compiled into web pages using jekyll and hosted with netlify.

the colour palette is from my previous project euscape - project, which i created for my personal use as part of aesthetic is a creative constraint. the theme you see here however is based on a combination of public templates/guides by other creators like maxime vaillancourt, mike tannenbaum and kepano. i vibe-coded everything together with zero formal coding background. i just followed what felt right, borrowed from open-source resources, and tweaked things until they looked like me.

i believe in sharing ideas and documenting what works (or doesn’t), which is also why i started this digital garden in the first place. if you’re curious about how this site was built, here’s a write up on it.

otherwise, you can also learn more about how i use obsidian and my [[ digital ecosystem ]]
