Colophon

This site is powered by a lightweight custom hybrid database/flat-file CMS.

Written using the Laravel PHP framework, it leverages Filament to provide a lightweight admin panel.

Posts, pages and notes are all stored in the database for efficient retrieval / pagination (and eventually search), whilst being stored as Markdown files that can be version-controlled. Overkill? Perhaps. Likely to change? Probably.

Uploaded assets are stored in a Cloudflare R2 bucket.

The whole thing is managed by Laravel Forge and hosted on Laravel VPS, because life's too short for managing servers for a personal blog.

The site uses the Kelp HTML-first UI library for styling, and is set in Inclusive Sans for legibility. Code syntax highlighting is performed server-side using the Shiki PHP library.

The domain is registered through GoDaddy, with DNS via Cloudflare.

This site has no tracking and uses less than 0.01g of CO₂ per visit.
