Why I redesigned this site (again)
A short note on starting over with Astro.
I had a Next.js site. It was fine. It had pastel skill cards and a “Coming Soon” works page that has been coming for two years.
The honest reason for redesigning: I wanted somewhere quiet to write, and the old site felt like it expected someone to hire me. I’m not looking. I just wanted the receipts in one place.
This time the rules are smaller:
- One column for reading.
- One bento for the home.
- One accent color, doing one job.
- No “Hi, I’m Joshua.”
If you’re reading this on launch day, thanks. If you’re reading this on day 400 and the lab page is still empty, also thanks.
