Everything here is a plain text file. There's no database, no login, no admin panel to forget the password to. A post is a file, the file is the truth, and the site is just a nice way of reading the files.

Headings look like this

Body text sits on a narrow measure — about sixty-five characters — because that's roughly the width the eye can track without losing its place at the end of a line. Wider is not more generous. It's just harder to read.

Occasionally you'll want to quote someone. Quotes are set in italic, with a hairline rule instead of a heavy bar.

Lists work as you'd expect:

• Ordinary bullets, tight but not cramped
• Enough room between items to scan
• Nothing decorative

And inline code sits in a soft box, while a longer block gets its own:

npm run dev

Links are underlined faintly and darken when you hover them, so a paragraph full of them still reads as a paragraph rather than a list of buttons.

That's the whole vocabulary. Headings, text, quotes, lists, code, rules, links. It turns out that's almost everything you ever need to write.
