“Design cannot rescue failed content.”

Edward R. Tufte

This static website is built using Jekyll, and hosted by GitHub Pages. And after almost two years of using my heavily modified version of the Hyde theme, I decided to redesign the site.

I would like to say that I redesigned it to make it more minimal, and more readable. To make it more responsive, and more accessible. Those are all true, but the real reason was that I had made so many tweaks to the JS and CSS in the previous site, that it had just turned into a bunch of spaghetti. I tried to clean it up, but my relative lack for familiarity with the languages, made this more frustrating than I would like. So I decided to just start from scratch, and use a more modern theme.

The new theme is Indigo by Kopplin under the MIT license. A copy of this license is available on this site in license.md.

I really like it. It’s minimal and focuses on putting the important information front and center. It’s also responsive, and has a auto dark mode based on system setting. I’ve already made several tweaks to the theme, and I’ll be adding more stuff in the future.
