Uses

The tools and typefaces behind this site and my daily work.

Stack

Next.js
App Router. Static generation for everything that can be static.
React 19
Server Components by default, client components only where state is needed.
TypeScript
Strict mode. Types document intent; they're not optional.
Tailwind 4
CSS-first config. No tailwind.config.js.

Editor

VS Code
With Vim keybindings. The muscle memory is too deep to abandon.
GitHub Copilot
For boilerplate and test scaffolding. Never for architecture.
Prettier
Opinionated formatting. The arguments about style end the moment you install it.

Hardware

MacBook Pro M3
14-inch. The build step that used to take 45 seconds takes 4.
LG 27UK850
27-inch 4K. Enough pixels to actually see what the typography looks like.

Typefaces

Ogg Roman
High-contrast serif by Signal Type Foundry. Used for all display text on this site.
Apercu Mono
Geometric monospace by Colophon Foundry. All functional copy on this site.
Berkeley Mono
Editor font. The one typeface I'm willing to pay for without hesitation.
