I had a tumblr, a Notion, a half-finished Astro thing in a folder called "maybe". None of them felt like a place. I wanted somewhere with rooms - a record player here, a wall of postcards there, a desk for the things I'm making. Less feed, more apartment.
Spent a week on a moodboard before writing any code, which I always pretend I won't do. Newsreader for the body. A paper background I sampled off a 1972 Penguin paperback. The accent color changed every other day until I gave up and made it a knob.
Wrote about reading more in small apartments. It took two evenings, mostly because I kept reading what I'd written and finding it embarrassing. Hit publish anyway. Refreshed the homepage maybe forty times to look at the date stamp.
Not a portfolio, not a blog, not really a journal - something between all three. The thing I keep coming back to is the section dividers. Tiny monospace labels. SECTION A - PROJECTS. They make it feel filed, which is what I wanted.
