Inspiration

People and products that shape how I think about craft, writing, and the web.

This site takes inspiration from personal blogs that feel like places, not feeds — including Leo Huỳnh’s thoughtful structure, developer tools, and the quiet precision of native macOS interfaces.

Design principles

  • Content should be easy to scan and pleasant to linger on.
  • Motion should explain state, never compete for attention.
  • Every page should have a useful permanent URL.
