Minimalism That Still Feels Good

A clean blog doesn't need to be boring. A few principles used here:
1. Typography first
- One font, generous line-height (
1.8), max width ~42rem. - Headings tight, body relaxed. Contrast over color.
2. Whitespace is a feature
Cards have breathing room. The homepage list uses dividers instead of boxes (calmer to scan).
3. Small UX details
- Instant client-side search (title + excerpt + tags).
- Tag filters with one click.
- Reading time on every post.
- Dark mode that respects
prefers-color-scheme. - Sticky blurred header, back-to-top link, prev/next navigation.
4. Fast by default
Static HTML, no client JS except search. Lighthouse-friendly.
