About this site

This website is built with the Tailwind CSS framework and Astro, a static site generator. It’s hosted on GitHub Pages. It doesn’t use cookies or any kind of tracking mechanism and gathers no data beyond what is tracked in GitHub’s server logs.

The sidenote concept used in my essays and notes was developed by Edward Tufte; my implementation was originally adapted from the tufte-pandoc-jekyll theme and is now a small custom plugin in the site’s build.

The note infrastructure was inspired by Maxime Vaillancourt’s Digital Garden Jekyll template; the wiki-style links, automatic backlinks, and link-graph data are now generated by custom plugins as the site is built. The note network visualisation is built with D3.js and cola.js.

The notes themselves are maintained with Obsidian.

The fonts used are:

• General Sans: Headlines, captions and navigation
• Literata: Body text and sidenotes
