Created this changelog page, so…let’s fast forward the past 8 months.
Many major updates (in a single commit, no less…):
- Moved the colophon from a blog post to its own route
- Created a sitemap, style guide, cheatsheet, and archive for previous site designs
- Added an aside component
- Added each bookshelf post to the RSS
- Realized that I had never actually applied Neue Montreal as the body font and had just been reading in Apple’s default SF Pro the entire time until now 🙃
Right now links are being rendered 5 different ways throughout the site. It’s really inconsistent and I need to figure out a better rule for it.
- Universal links are colored teal and turn lime when hovered. Most consistently used in blog posts. It looks good against the dark background but doesn’t work against a light one.
- Links on the now page are black and auto underlined; no hover behavior. This is because links need to be visibly discernible.
- Links on the blogroll page are black and turn underlined when hovered. This is different from the now page because 1) it’s more intuitively clear that each line is a link, so people will know to hover and 2) having everything on the list auto underlined looks bad.
- Links on the sitemap are bone colored and turn teal when hovered. Having each line be all teal also doesn’t seem visually balanced.
- Links in the callout component (like in this blog post) are lime (with no hover action) to match the surrounding box.

Nuked the third iteration of my website and started over with a new SvelteKit project. Yay!
