What it is

The site you’re on. Built with Astro (static, ~0 JS by default) and React islands only where interactivity earns its cost: theme toggle, command palette, easter eggs.

Engineering choices

  • Islands architecture — ship HTML/CSS first, hydrate the few interactive parts.
  • OKLCH design tokens and fluid type — a real design system, not utility soup.
  • Full technical SEO — JSON-LD, sitemap, OG images, semantic landmarks.
  • Editorial / Swiss minimal direction with hidden terminal easter eggs.
