Every blog should have a obligatory first post. This blog is mainly to talk about projects I have been working on.

Will it be updated frequently? Depends on my personal life and if I have people I can rant to in person.

What to expect

Mostly technical writing. Occasionally some musing and ranting.

Unfortunately, personal blogs are not back and I never got into them in their hay day.

The stack

This site is built with Go's standard library and HTMX. Posts are Markdown files on disk. Navigation swaps only the page content — no full reloads.

// The server detects HTMX requests via a header
func isHTMX(r *http.Request) bool {
    return r.Header.Get("HX-Request") == "true"
}

When isHTMX returns true, the server renders only the content partial. When false (direct visit or hard refresh), it renders the full page layout.

The color scheme is Kanagawa Dragon/Lotus (Dark and Light, respectively). Its easy on the eyes and kinda gives a ereader vibe to the site.
