Colophon

Technology

This site is a Next.js 16 app exported as static files and served from Cloudflare static assets. There is no server: every page is HTML built ahead of time. Notes and archived projects are MDX files in the repo.

Tools

I write it in PhpStorm on a MacBook Pro 14" (M4, 2025), with pnpm as the package manager.

Type

• Source Serif 4 for the name and section titles.
• Source Sans 3 for reading text, with old-style figures.
• IBM Plex Mono for numbers, dates and IDs.

All three are self-hosted and cut down to the characters the site uses (latin and Vietnamese).

Data

The numbers in Table 1 and on Stats are never typed by hand. The site fetches them again about once a day, after someone visits: contributions and stars from GitHub, downloads from npm and jsDelivr, books from my Goodreads shelf, and references from the Discord channel I bookmark into. If a source fails, the last good value stays. The plots are SVG drawn on the server with matplotlib's default style; Figure 1 is the only one you can pluck.
